Betting suggestion:

In the second time at the time that the two rivals will star in one of the greatest “classics” of Portuguese football today, FC Porto and Benfica will have an exclusive interest in winning, under penalty of seeing the distance that separates them from the leadership increase. Thus, it is expected a very well played game from side to side, with both teams more concerned with attacking than defending, which should allow the attacks to get the better of the defenses, which have not even been on the big plan recently.
