FC Porto vs Benfica Predictions

Our Spotlight iQ previews had their best-ever results last weekend

Portuguese giants to entertain again

Both teams can get on the scoresheet in Sunday’s clash between Porto and Benfica at Estadio do Dragao. Benfica have scored in 11 consecutive games, while Porto have netted two goals or more in 17 of their 27 Primeira Liga games this season.

Benfica are one place above Porto in the table, but the hosts have a nine-point deficit to make up. Porto sit third with 17 wins from their 27 games this season, while Benfica are second with 21.

Porto beat AVS 2-0 last month in their last Primeira Liga home game and are aiming for a third straight success, but Benfica are much tougher opponents. They are unbeaten in nine of their last ten league matches and beat Gil Vicente 3-0 in their most recent away game last week.

Porto carry an attacking threat. They have scored in all 13 of their Primeira Liga home games this season and have found the net at least twice in three of their last four league matches. Only two teams have more goals than Porto’s 53 this season.

They were 2-1 winners against Estoril in their last Primeira Liga game and may be able to edge out Benfica by the same scoreline. 11 of Benfica’s last 13 league matches have featured over 2.5 goals, so there should be chances at both ends.
