Benfica welcomes Porto to the Estádio da Luz for this match in the Portuguese Premier League. The home team are in third place with 71 points while the visitors have been crowned champions and have 85 points. Benfica will go into a qualifying tournament for next season’s Champions League. Only the top two teams in the league gain automatic promotion to the lucrative competition. Benfica are eight points behind second placed Sporting and with just two matches left it is impossible to catch them. They are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and drawing two. Benfica have an impressive home record losing only once in their last eight matches. They have been miserly in defence, keeping a clean sheet in their last three matches. Benfica have not beaten Porto in their last nine matches drawing three and losing six.

Porto have already been crowned champions and have enjoyed a stellar season so far. They are on course for the league and Cup double as they contest the Cup final on the 22nd May. Porto have only suffered one loss in their last seven matches, winning the other six. That loss came away to Braga when they were defeated 1-0. It was their first away loss in their last 13 matches. Their biggest enemy in this match will be complacency as they don’t have much to play for. Porto may look to rest some players as they will have one eye on the Cup final now that the league title is secured.
