Command Analysis
FC Porto
Porto won the Portuguese Primeira Liga title last season and expects to repeat this success. The team scored 18 points in six matches, winning all the matches and conceding only two goals. In the last round, the team scored a big away victory over Casa Pia (4:1). Prior to that, the club suffered its first defeat in the Champions League, losing to Manchester City (0:2) on its own field.
Benfica
Benfica failed to qualify for the Champions League this time, so they have to compete in the Europa League, but the guests are very successful there. They managed to beat three opponents in the selection, and the general stage began for the guests with an away victory over the Italian Milan (2:0). In the first round, the Eagles drew with Akademiko Viseu (2-2), but since then the guests have only won. The club won five consecutive league matches, with three defeats. The visitors are two points behind Porto, but a victory in the face-to-face match will put Benfica in first place.
The confrontation between Porto and Benfica is sure to be extremely interesting, but the teams are worthy of each other and will fight for leadership in the standings. The home advantage should help the dragons to win the most important match, besides, the team is only winning the Portuguese championship so far, it is especially great in defense.
