Porto – Benfica, Prediction – Primeira Liga

✔️ Porto has 7 consecutive victories

Porto does not stop winning in Primeira, but there is a team that is more consistent than both Porto and Benfica. This is Sporting Lisbon, who has not even lost in the league and is leading the standings with 35 points. Dragons have been scoring a lot of goals lately and are very dangerous in attack. They have 4 consecutive victories against Benfica and are aiming for the 5th in this derby, which can be very crucial also purely from a psychological point of view.

📑 Benfica cannot afford to lose the derby after the mistake against Santa Clara

Benfica fans were very angry with the Eagles’ draw with Santa Clara in the last round, which left Benfica in 3rd place due to a worse goal difference than Porto. The indicators of Porto and Benfica are absolutely equal before the derby – 10 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. The Dragons may have seven straight wins, but overall Benfica have 13 victories in their last 16 games and their only “weak period” was within 6 days, when they lost twice in early November.

The Eagles must take revenge against Porto for the loss for the Super Cup

 Expert view: A very difficult clash to predict and perhaps illogical to look for a winner, but something completely different. However, this time we will choose a side. Porto is the favorite in the match, not only because it is the host, but also because lately it often wins against Benfica. Porto defeated the Eagles just a few weeks ago for the Super Cup. We expect this time Benfica to surprise the Dragons and break the bad series against them because the team’s play is stable and its chances in this match are not small. Prediction Benfica +0.5 Asian Handicap of 1.79.
