The incarnated team comes very motivated for this match, because in addition to having added a victory in the last match against Vitória de Setúbal, by 6-0, saw their eternal rival lose points against Aves, which leaves the team closer to the first positions. Even so, it’s important to point out that Eagles don’t have a very positive income away, having added just three wins in six away matches. In this match, Professor Rui Vitória must keep the team in 4-3-3, benefiting the organization of his block and the counterattacks, especially through the right flank: Franco Cervi is a very fast player and will be a headache for Ricardo Pereira, the right defender of FC Porto. Benfica's killer is Brazilian Jonas: currently he is the best scorer of the team and of the Portuguese championship with 15 scored goals. Apparently, there are no weight absences for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Bruno Varela, André Almeida, Álex Grimaldo, Luisão, Jardel, Ljubomir Fejsa, Pizzi, Filip Krovinović, Eduardo Salvio, Franco Cervi, Jonas.
