On Friday, Portuguese champion Benfica host Porto in the most anticipated clash of the seventh round. The two teams are currently next to each other in the standings. The upcoming visitors have a point more than their rival and are in second place, but are tied with first-placed Sporting Lisbon. “The Dragons and the Lions are also the only ones in the Liga Portuguesa who have yet to suffer a loss, while Benfica have already incascated one.
Benfica vs Porto Prediction
Just days before the start of the new season in Portugal, Benfica and Porto met in a Super Cup match. It was won by the Eagles, who prevailed 2-0 over their rivals. Benfica, however, have just one win over the Dragons in their last eight clashes when the two teams met in the Liga Portugal. It was last season, a 0-1 defeat at the Estadio do Dragao. Porto, on the other hand, won their visit to Lisbon 2-1. It was also one of the rare matches at the Luz Stadium in which more than two goals fell. I think that the upcoming clash will not be one of those and we will see a minimum number of goals scored.
