Benfica vs Porto Soccer Prediction

Details:

Benfica won the Portuguese championship last season and enter the new season with the highest possible ambitions.

Angel Di Maria is the biggest name in the summer transfer window, and in addition to him, Orkun Kokcu from Feyenoord and David Jurašek from Sparta Prague also arrived.

After four straight wins in friendlies against Southampton, Al Nasr, Basel and Celta Vigo, Benfica were beaten by Burnley and Feyenoord on two of them.

Porto have not had a successful season by their standards.

In the transfer window, they brought Niko Gonzalez from Barcelona and Fran Navarro from Gil Vincente. Diego Leite went to Union Berlin and Mateus Uribe to Al Saad.

In the preparatory period, Porto beat Portimonense and Cardiff, drew with Rajo Vallecano and lost to Wolves.

Key facts

• Porto won 4 of the last 5 against Benfica
• 3 of the last 5 between these two teams were over 2.5
• Porto won the last match 2-1 in Lisbon

There is no better announcement for the upcoming season in Portugal than a Supercup match between the two best teams. After several years, Benfica is the one who won the title, and that puts them in the role of slight favorites before this loss. However, if we look at the matches between them, Porto won 4 of the last 5 matches. Both teams were quite active in the football market, but there were no drastic changes. This match will be of great intensity in which both teams are looking at a chance for the trophy, and the players are fighting for a standard place in the lineup before the start of the season. The odds on Porto are higher, for which there is no particular reason, so I suggest playing a double chance on them at 1.60.
