Benfica vs Porto are set to clash in an important matchup among the contenders in Liga Portugal at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Sunday night. Currently, As Aguias is in third position in the league standings, five points behind Os Dragoes, who are in second place.
Last year, Benfica concluded the season without getting the trophy in any of their four competitions. This year, the Eagles are approximately maintaining their points per game average in Liga Portugal, similar to last year’s performance when they secured a second-place finish. At present, they hold third place with 22 points after nine rounds, trailing first-placed Sporting by eight points, who boasts a perfect win rate. In the Champions League, they have secured six points over four rounds and find themselves in the playoff positions, yet it is fair to say that their performance has not been particularly remarkable up to this point.
Last year, Porto achieved victory in the Taca de Portugal and had a commendable performance in the Champions League, advancing to the 1/8 Finals. Regrettably, they concluded the season in third place in the domestic league and did not qualify for the Champions League this year. Despite their popularity, the Dragons are facing challenges in the Europa League, having secured only four points across four rounds. Porto is performing admirably in the league, currently holding 2nd place with 27 points after ten rounds, only three points shy of the top position.
