This is one of the few games in which FC Porto hosts Benfica and is not the favorite. Porto is having a bad championship but when they play against their biggest rival in history they put on a different kind of performance and at home it is normal for them to beat Benfica. Porto won the last 2 games and had 2 good performances, the players are more confident and feel they can beat Benfica.

Despite being nine points adrift of Benfica, Porto approach this fixture with optimism, knowing that victory would not only tighten their grip on third place but also revive their fading title hopes.

There are no new absences in Porto.

Benfica played in the middle of the week for the championship against Farense, their calendar is already up to date but the truth is that they have been winning but not convincing. Against Farense they won 3-2 and faced many difficulties.

Benfica have been playing better at home than away and last season they lost 5-0 at this stadium.

Tomas Araújo is out due to injury.

The stadium will be full, there will be a lot of support for the Porto team. The game will be balanced, both teams will have opportunities but Porto with Marcano's return is more secure in defense. Benfica is also a team that has had difficulties in defense, if Porto plays well they have a chance of gaining points in this game.

这是为数不多的几场波尔图主场迎战本菲卡的比赛之一，而且不是夺冠热门。波尔图在冠军联赛中表现不佳，但当他们面对历史上最大的对手时，他们表现得与众不同，在主场击败本菲卡是很正常的。波尔图赢得了最近两场比赛，并且有两场很好的表现，球员们更加自信，觉得他们可以击败本菲卡。

尽管落后本菲卡9分，波尔图还是乐观地面对这场比赛，他们知道胜利不仅会巩固他们对第三名的控制，而且还会重振他们褪色的冠军希望。

波尔图没有新的球员缺阵。

本菲卡在本周中对阵法国队，他们的赛程已经更新了，但事实是他们一直在赢球，但并不令人信服。他们以3比2战胜法国队，并面临许多困难。

本菲卡在主场的表现一直比客场好，上赛季他们在这个球场0比5输掉了比赛。

托马斯Araújo因伤缺阵。

球场将座无虚席，将会有很多人支持波尔图队。比赛将是平衡的，两支球队都有机会，但波尔图在马尔卡诺回归后防守更加安全。本菲卡也是一支防守困难的球队，如果波尔图打得好，他们有机会在这场比赛中获得积分。
