Porto - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis
Porto will come into this match with confidence after securing a 2-1 win over Santa Clara in the Taca de Portugal last week. That result extended their current unbeaten run to four matches, including three wins and a draw. During that time, the Dragons also pulled off a hard-fought 1-0 win over Arsenal at Estadio Do Dragao, giving themselves the advantage heading into the second leg round of 16 tie at the Emirates Stadium next week. Porto’s last Primeira Liga match ended in a 1-1 draw against Gil Vicente, which took them to 49 points after 23 games, seven shy of Sporting in second. The hosts have been formidable on their home patch lately, unbeaten in their last six (W5 D1 L0), and have kept a very impressive five clean sheets in succession heading into this match. Considering the gap to the Europa League qualification spot, this feels like a must-win for Porto, and the bookmakers make them out to be the marginal favourites.
Meanwhile, Benfica head into this match off the back of a 2-1 defeat to arch-nemesis Sporting in the first leg of the Taca de Portugal semi-finals. That brought an end to a nine-match unbeaten run in all competition, dating back to their Taca da Liga exit at the start of the year. In league terms, though, the Eagles are in great shape. They won their last Primeira Liga match 4-0 against Portimonense, extending their current unbeaten run to 22 games. Their only league defeat this season came on the opening day away to Boavista. During their unbeaten streak, Benfica have recorded 18 wins and four losses. In away games, the visitors are unbeaten in ten and have scored two or more goals in seven of those matches. The Eagles won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in August and will know that another victory is vital here with Sporting right on their shoulders.

Porto & Benfica Lisbon Squad Analysis
Porto will be missing a few important players for this match due to injury. Zaidu Sanusi and Ivan Marcano are both out with ACL injuries and are likely to miss the remainder of the season. Mehdi Taremi is the latest addition to the casualty list with a thigh injury and is expected to remain sidelined for at least a couple of weeks. Gabriel Veron has not featured at all this season due to an injury to his Achilles tendon, and there is no indication of when he may return to action.
Benfica, on the other hand, have an almost-fully fit squad at their disposal, barring Juan Bernat, who is a doubt owing to a muscle injury. Rafa Silva has been in sensational form lately, netting in each of his last five games and currently leading the side with 12 goals for the season. He will almost certainly continue to lead the line in front of Angel Di Maria and Joao Mario in the attacking midfield positions.

Our Porto vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
While both these sides have been excellent in attack individually, matches between these two tend to be much closer, with a single goal separating them in four of their last five encounters. Both sides are also carrying solid form into this contest and will not want to concede first, which could see this match start as a slow-burner. Therefore, our Porto vs Benfica prediction: Under 3.5.
