Benfica vs Porto Preview & Prediction

This O Classico is last chance saloon for the away team. Under the management of Roger Schmidt, Benfica have been exceptional throughout the campaign in both the Primeira Liga and the UEFA Champions League. The capital city club come into this on the back of a 1-0 win away at Rio Ave in their most recent outing, last weekend. They begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting ten points clear of second-place and reigning champions, Porto. Sergio Conceicao's visitors squeezed past Portimonense by a goal to nil last weekend. Benfica will go 13 points clear with just seven games to go if they win this one and, with home advantage, they are the firm favourites for this one.
