Benfica vs FC Porto Odds

Benfica Team News

After winning the championship title in the previous season, Benfica enters this one with the same ambition but also with the hope of making progress in the Champions League and going further than last year when Inter eliminated them in the quarter-finals. However, the result from the opening group stage match didn’t work in their favor, as Salzburg defeated them in Lisbon 2:0. The justification for this loss is undoubtedly the red card for Antonio Silva in the 13th minute, after which it was challenging for Benfica to maintain the rhythm against motivated visitors. Alongside Salzburg, the rivals of the Portuguese team are Inter and Real Sociedad, and there is no doubt that Benfica will give their maximum effort to bounce back from this poor start in the remaining matches.

In contrast to the Champions League, Benfica’s results in the domestic league are much better. After an unexpected defeat in the first round against Boavista, they have recorded five consecutive victories. After six games, Benfica is in third place with 15 points, one less than Porto and Sporting, and it’s clear that these three rivals will compete for the championship title this season.

FC Porto Team News

Porto, like Benfica, ended their participation in the Champions League last year with elimination by Inter, in the round of 16. However, judging by one match, it’s clear that they have bigger ambitions this year, and after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk (1:3) in the first round, they, along with Barcelona, are the primary candidates for advancing to the next round.

Furthermore, Porto has shown from the start of the championship that their goal this season is to bring the championship trophy back to their shelves. Before the derby against Benfica, they are tied for first place with Sporting, each having earned 16 points. The only match Porto hasn’t won since the start of the season was a draw against Arouca, which ended 1:1. In the other five games, they defeated Moreirense, Farense, Rio Ave, Estrela, and Gil Vicente.

Porto was defeated 2:0 by Benfica in the Super Cup final in August, and there is no doubt that they will give their all to seek revenge against their great rival on Friday.
