🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Benfica and Porto should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

Shouldn’t be much in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline when the full-time whistle blows.
