Porto, Recent FormPorto manager Sérgio Conceição will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Gil Vicente. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing at home, they're currently on a run of 0 consecutive clean sheets.
They have been performing well at Estádio do Dragão recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Francisco Evanilson will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Porto.
Benfica, Recent FormIn their last match Benfica enforced their superiority over Portimonense with a 4-0 home win. They achieved 70% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 13 hitting the target, up against Portimonense's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 21 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 22 of their 23 games overall this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 22 games in a row.
With 6 goals scored in Benfica's last 6 outings in the league, Rafa Silva has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Benfica.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 5 away matches against Porto in the league, As Águias have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend.
With Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament) and Mehdi Taremi (Thigh) both unavailable and Zaidu Sanusi (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Porto manager Sérgio Conceição will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Juan Bernat (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
