Porto Needs One Point to Secure the Title
It’s been a while since we wrote anything about the Primeira Liga, and there isn’t a better time than now! Porto is on the verge of winning its thirtieth title. All the Blue and Whites need is to draw against Benfica (third place), a team seeking revenge. Porto won the first meeting between the two and eliminated the Reds from the domestic cup.
According to the soccer lines, we can expect a close one. Porto is offering a +140 price, while Benfica is +180. What I can assure you is that you don’t want to miss this game!
Let’s check the latest news, stats, injury reports, and Portugal Primeira Liga for Benfica vs Porto. We’ve plenty soccer predictions of predictions for you to consider.
Benfica: Revenge Honor
Benfica already secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds will represent the Primeira Liga in the preliminary rounds. Therefore, they’ve nothing to play for other than revenge and honor. In other words, they’ll play with no pressure, which is what makes them a tempting online gambling underdog. Plus, they don’t want Porto to celebrate at Estadio Da Luz.
The Reds come in on a five-game winning streak. Let’s not forget that they reached the UCL Quarterfinals, in which they put up a good fight against Liverpool. Regarding the Primeira Liga, their last game was against Maritimo, and they won 1-0.
Darwin Nunez is the main reason for you to consider including Benfica in your soccer picks. He’s the league’s top scorer with 26 goals. Rumor has it that Nunez is set to move to the English Premier League. A strong finish could increase his chances.
As mentioned before, Benfica is offering a +180 price. This is a good deal considering the Reds haven’t lost in their last six Primeira Liga games at home. That includes outscoring their opponents 11-4.
Porto: Crazy Numbers
Porto sits in first place with 85 points thanks to a 27-4-1 record. Want more? The Blue and Whites have scored 83 goals, more than any other team. Defensively, they’ve allowed 22 goals, only one more than Sporting Lisbon. They deserve this title.
Most recently, they defeated FC Vizela 4-2 with Mehdi Taremi as Man of the Match after scoring two goals. Evanilson and Chancel Mbemba also scored. That was a huge victory, because one week earlier they lost 1-0 to Braga.
If Benfica has Nunez, Porto has Taremi. The Iranian is the team’s top scorer with 20 goals. He’s followed by Evanilson and Luis Diaz with 14. Diaz no longer plays for the team as he signed for Liverpool in the last transfer window. I’m telling you; the scouts are all over the Primeira Liga.
Prior to losing to Braga, Porto won 12 straight games on the road. Additionally, they finish with a clean sheet in seven of those games. Porto at +140 in the sportsbook seems too good to be true, but it is!
Don’t forget that the Blue and Whites played in the UCL Group Stage. Then, they reached the UEL Round of 16. This is a team used to the pressure.
