Porto narrowly edge out Benfica in their 247-match history of the competition, holding a total of 97 victories — nine more than their Lisbon rivals. Benfica last defeated Porto in 2019.
Benfica are off the heels of a dominant 7-1 victory against Marítimo, with Darwin Núñez scoring first just three minutes into the game, and again at 18 minutes. These two opening goals officially made Núñez the top goalscorer in the Primeira Liga — a position that speaks to his rising value for Benfica, going into this game and beyond.
Porto, likewise, earned a victory in their last match, with Monteiro, Díaz and Sanusi marking their names on the scorecard against Vizela. They retain their place at the top of the league table and remain the team to beat in their current eight-win run in all domestic competition.
