Game Analysis

  • There is barely a price between the sides. Benfica is the shortest price on a book of 2.65 / 3.3 / 2.5 (1 / X / 2), an implied 37.0%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 34.9% / 28.0% / 37.0% on an overround of 8.0%.

  • The draw is unusually well backed at 3.3 (28.0%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

  • In the league table Fc Porto sit 1st on 18 points (6W 0D 0L) with Benfica 2nd on 16 points (5W 1D 0L).

  • Fc Porto read W-L-L-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 0D 2L) — a strong recent run.

  • Benfica read W-W-W-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (6W 0D 0L) — about as good as form gets.

  • Head to head the record reads 0-2-4 — Fc Porto wins, draws, then Benfica wins. Their last meeting finished Benfica - Fc Porto: 2-2.

  • Our last-six model flags 1 qualifying strike here. Reading Fc Porto first, then Benfica, out of their last six: BEST-WORST (1 wins against 2 defeats).

  • Fc Porto lean hardest on Jakub Kiwior (9.5), Eduardo Gabriel Aquino Cossa (9.5), Gabriel Veiga (9.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Benfica lean hardest on Rafa (9.5), ClĂ©ment Lenglet (9.5), Vangelis Pavlidis (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: Everything here points at a tight, low-tempo game. The draw at 3.3 is the selection the numbers keep coming back to, and the unders are the natural second look.
