When you meet Benfica and Porto the weather is always hot, even in friendly, let alone in a semi-final. And whether it is the Portuguese League Cup, it does not matter, the turnover will be an abstract concept, because first comes honor, respect for an ancestral rivalry and national supremacy. That at the moment, at least in the league, arride at Porto, more continuous than the bitter rivals of Benfica, who pay a blank pass in October. That “moment of pause” – let’s call it that – is so much cost to the Eagles, who have accumulated a distance difficult to fill, since the port in the championship is a war machine …
As the championship situation is showing, Benfica is likely to lose its title this season; that is why they will do their best to conquer the League Cup trophy and the Portuguese Cup, in which they will most likely again have to face FC Porto. After a 2-0 defeat in Portimonense four stages ago, Benfica excelled in the next stages. They defeated Rio Ave 4-2, Santa Clara 2-0, and last round at the Guimaraes minimum. Serbian midfielder Ljumbomir Fejla and Brazilian striker Jonas are injured.
The five-point advantage that they have at the top of the leaderboard gives them all the reasons to hope for the title. But they will certainly offer everything to conquer this trophy, even though it will be present in the next round of the Cup as well as in the Champions League. A plus in the desire of their success in this match has the opponent’s name, FC Porto would not want to hear a defeat in front of the benfica even in the case of a friendly match. Two rounds drew 0-0 in the derby with Sporting, and in the last round defeated Chaves with 4-1. Uruguayan defender Pereira and Cameroon striker Aboubakar will be missing.
The key points of the prediction Benfica vs Porto
The Dragons, in fact, are first in the standings with forty-six points in eighteen games played. The Eagles chase with forty-one.
The Port in the league has won all, except a draw and two losses. An almost unstoppable ride.
One of these two defeats, however, came on the field of Benfica, which managed to impose itself at home for 1-0.
And that was one of only five goals Porto has cashed in the nine games so far away in the league.
The Benfica comes from eight wins (and a defeat) in the last nine of the championship, the Port of 10 wins (and a draw) in the last eleven!
Needless to reiterate the domination of Porto (especially) and Benfica in the homeland, but when you face the races are always very unpredictable (as evidenced by the first leg in the league). But often they are very balanced and tactical, so we choose the Under 2.5.
