Porto – Benfica, Primeira Liga Prediction

This is Porto’s hope of regaining any chance of the title. Here the dragons are only interested in winning the match. A draw or a loss would almost certainly mean a title for Benfica. The difference is currently 7 points and the Eagles have lost just one match – the one from Porto in the first game. The worse thing about the Dragons is that Benfica has no lost point in any other game.

During the week, the two teams had matches for the Portuguese Cup, but there are also rematches, so they were not decisive. Benfica have attracted one of Dortmund’s main players, Julian Weigl, who will seriously strengthen the midfielder of the team. The Eagles show remarkable consistency and great calm in the games. The defense of the team is magnificent with only 8 goals conceded.

 Expert view : We expect the match to be quite tense for both teams. It is logical for Benfica to be cautious and very concentrated in defense, as always. Although there is a huge need for victory, Porto know that they will not succeed if they make crazy attacks and rely on pressure to the enemy with the support of their fans. This is not the case against Benfica. Rather, they will act smart and if there are goals, they would fall in the second half. We expect this tense derby to finish 1st half – Draw at 2.05.

4 of the last 5 games between Porto and Benfica have ended with X at halftime
