SL Benfica vs FC Porto - 06/05/2021
5827
Reigning Portuguese champions Porto know that the odds are against them retaining their crown, as time is running out to catch league leaders Sporting CP. The champions have the small matter of a trip to Benfica on Thursday evening.
Porto are six points behind Sporting with just four Primeira Liga games remaining. It will be tough to retain the Portuguese league crown, but they will have to keep winning and hope that the league leaders slip up in their last four matches.
Sergio Conceicao’s team are 24 games unbeaten in the Primeira Liga, so it is not like they are in terrible form. A 3-2 win over Famalicao last time out means that Porto have won eight of their last nine league matches.
Porto are the league’s top scorers this season and have continued to be pretty prolific of late in the Portuguese top-flight, scoring at least two goals in six of their last nine league outings.
The visitors are 12 games unbeaten on their travels in the Primeira Liga, recording nine victories in the process.
Benfica look pretty comfortable in third-place, which means they will play in the Champions League qualifiers next season. However, a victory in this clash would put the Eagles just a point behind the visitors in the table.
Jorge Jesus’ team head into this game on the back of nine wins from their last ten outings in the Portuguese top-flight. One of the main reasons for their recent good run of league form is their attacking prowess, as Porto have scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten matches in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica have been in good form of late at the Estadio Da Luz, winning five of their last six matches in the Primeira Liga.
Forebet predicts that Porto will edge this game by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter to keep their slim title hopes alive.
