Porto's previous game was a Taça De Portugal match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Benfica (placed 3rd). The home side are looking to build on that result. The 3-0 win against Benfica was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle. Sanusi was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.75 out of 10. The defender Sanusi hit one key pass and won 6 of 13 duels.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Vizela and winning 4-0.Goals are plentiful at Estádio Do Dragão in the league this season as Porto has scored 19 goals here in 7 home games.

Benfica form and stats
The away performances of Benfica have been very solid so far with 7 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Primeira Liga. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Benfica are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.
Benfica are travelling again after losing away to Porto in their previous match (0-3). Benfica did not look prepared in the first half against Porto and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one. Midfielder Weigl was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Weigl hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 49 successful passes (of 54 total).
Before that, Benfica secured a home win against Marítimo with the score 7-1.The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Benfica alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (25 from 8 played). The Benfica defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (4 goals in 8 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Porto six wins, two draws and Benfica two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
