In France, there is PSG-OM, in Spain, Real-Barça and in Portugal… Benfica-Porto. One of the most anticipated matches of the season takes place this Sunday at 9:45 p.m. for the 11th day of the Portuguese championship. Ultimately it doesn’t matter if the two teams are not at the top of the championship. The fault of the third thief, Sporting Portugal, who travels to Braga, two hours before the Lusitanian clash.
With its second place, FC Porto therefore travels to its best enemy who welcomes it to its lair at the Luz stadium. Opposite, he will meet a team that is up like a cuckoo since the current third is a little behind with five points behind its northern competitor. But, it is true, a late match against Nacional Funchal scheduled for December 19.
The two clubs are on a good run
In the league, Benfica has five wins in a row while FC Porto has six. On the other hand, the two Portuguese teams have more difficulty on the European scene. Engaged in the Champions League, the Lisbon side have two losses in a row against the Dutch Feyenoord (1-3) and against Bayern Munich (1-0) on Wednesday. The 4-0 victory against Atletico Madrid in early October already seems far away. In the Europa League, FC Porto is no longer happy after its defeat on Thursday in Rome against Lazio (2-1). But everything can be forgotten in the event of success against the big rival.
The match between Benfica Lisbon and FC Porto is scheduled to kick off at 9:45 p.m. this Sunday, November 10. The match will be broadcast live on BeIN Sports 2.
