Benfica vs FC Porto Predictions
Benfica have won 17 of their last 19 home league games
Benfica have won two of their last three meetings with Porto
The hosts have scored 16 goals in six league matches
Porto’s unbeaten start may come to an end

Benfica got the better of Porto to win the Primeira Liga last season, finishing two points clear at the summit, and bookmakers are expecting the pair to dominate title proceedings again.

Both teams have made a solid start to the new campaign with Porto unbeaten after six matches, having collected 16 points, while defending champions Benfica are only one point inferior following five wins and one defeat.

These two title rivals locked horns in the Super Cup on neutral ground in Aveiro at the start of August with Benfica prevailing 2-0 and deservedly doing so with Porto registering only two shots on target.

That was a feisty affair featuring 12 yellow cards and one red, and there is unlikely to be any love lost between the heavyweight duo at Estadio da Luz.

But home advantage should be crucial for Benfica, who have won two of the last three rivalries.

Benfica can showcase their attacking talents

Roger Schmidt’s side have dropped points in only two of their last 19 home league matches and they have won the last five to nil.

Porto have been pretty efficient on their travels, too, and find themselves unbeaten in 18 away league games.

However, there is a concern that the visitors may lack the firepower to live with Benfica, who have netted 16 goals across their opening six league games.

In fact, the Eagles have scored at least twice in each of their last nine league games and in Angel Di Maria, Rafa and Petar Musa they have three forward players that have hit the ground running.

Five of the last nine meetings have featured two goals or fewer and, given the stakes, that looks likely again with Benfica taken to triumph 2-0.

本菲卡vs波尔图预测
本菲卡在过去的19场主场联赛中赢了17场
本菲卡在最近三次对阵波尔图的比赛中赢了两场
东道主在6场联赛中打进16球
波尔图的不败开局可能要结束了

本菲卡上赛季击败波尔图赢得了西甲冠军，以2分的优势领先榜首，博彩公司预计这对搭档将再次主宰冠军争夺。

两支球队在新赛季都取得了良好的开局，波尔图在六场比赛中保持不败，拿到了16分，而卫冕冠军本菲卡在五胜一负之后只落后1分。

这两个冠军对手在8月初的超级杯比赛中在阿威罗的中立场地发生了激烈的争执，本菲卡以2-0取胜，波尔图只有2次射正，这是当之无愧的。

这是一场激烈的比赛，双方共吃了12张黄牌和1张红牌，这对重量级的二人组在达卢兹球场不太可能失去任何爱。

但是主场优势对于本菲卡来说是至关重要的，他们在过去的三场比赛中赢了两场。

本菲卡可以展示他们的进攻天赋

罗杰·施密特的球队在最近19场主场比赛中只丢了2分，最近5场以0比0获胜。

波尔图在客场的表现也相当高效，他们在18场客场联赛中保持不败。

然而，人们担心客队可能缺乏对抗本菲卡的火力，本菲卡在联赛开局的六场比赛中打进16球。

事实上，老鹰队在最近的九场联赛中每场都至少进了两个球，而且他们有三名前锋，迪马里亚、拉法和佩塔尔·穆萨，他们的表现都非常出色。

在过去的9次交锋中，有5次进球少于2球，考虑到双方的利害关系，本菲卡很有可能以2-0取胜。
