The stakes of the game will force the two to be pragmatic, which is why I do not expect Porto to press the accelerator pedal and repeatedly enter. On Saturday night, in Portugal the championship derby takes place, the classic match FC Porto vs Benfica Lisbon, from round 20 of the Primera Liga.

FC Porto: Form of moment, last results, statistics

In the last two games of the championship he came out with his head up. FC Porto defeated Gil Vicente 2-1 and 4-0 Setubal, after having some emotions after the less good period of the double clash with Sporting Braga. The team remains in second place, with 47 points, seven fewer than the leader to date. With a new eventual success could relaunch a little fight for the title, which seems already lost by dragons. It is precisely the return to his own field that offers this hope, Dragao being the place where he managed to win eight of the nine matches played. Moreover, he scored at least one goal in each duel and received a few times empty. It is the team with the least goals scored in the home matches.

Benfica Lisbon: Form of moment, last results, statistics

It dominates all the chapters and if it evolves the same way on Saturday and does not lose, then I can already give him the champion trophy. He has 54 points and nobody seems able to stop him, considering the difference of seven points he has in front of his rival. At the level of the vultures, there is already a huge difference. It also couldn’t be any different when they won 18 of the 19 matches in the Primera Liga. In the previous round it was a success with 3-2 in front of Belenenses, after a confrontation at home. Thus, in 2020, Benfica Lisbon has six wins in all the matches, in five of them has scored at least two goals. Here is also considered a success on the field of rival Sporting Lisbon.

FC Porto vs Benfica Lisbon Picks

Initially I wanted to offer a prognosis on fouls, considering that the stake of the game is extremely important for FC Porto and I do not think it will allow the rivals to attack the gate. On the other hand, I think pragmatism will be at home and this is why I will bet on few goals. Porto is the only team that has beaten Benfica this season, it was 2-0 in the tour in August. There have been many changes in the meantime, but not enough to think that a spectacular match will play and there will be many changes to the table.

Our Prediction: Under 2.5
