In general, we think that Porto is now in a better position on the eve of the sparring against the sworn rival. The main thing is both matches at Dragau. Porto is in the lead in the championship, sharing the first line with Sporting, and the lead over Benfica is 4 points. So, that upcoming meeting in the championship for Benfica will be “for 6 points” – they can get close or fly off decently. There is a reason to assume that most of the resources will be directed specifically to the meeting in the Primeira, which will take place on December 30.

But even if not, Porto is much more successful against top rivals. Especially at their own stadium. So, here we expect that Porto will not lose and the total under 3.50, for a coefficient of 1.87.
