FC Porto vs Benfica Prediction (20.09.2026)

This week, the big derby in the Portuguese championship will be between the teams of Porto and Benfica, which currently occupy the first and second places in the temporary standings, respectively. In their six matches played this new season, Porto has achieved six victories in a rather decisive and convincing manner. It is true that the team recently lost their first match in the Champions League, but it was against Manchester City.

However, Benfica is also extremely stable. The team started the new season with a draw, but quickly found the right rhythm and recorded five consecutive victories, each more impressive than the last. Moreover, just a few days ago, earlier this week, Benfica managed to achieve a quite prestigious success in their visit to Milan. So this will definitely be an exciting clash between two teams that are in strong form.

I believe that both teams will approach the match boldly and will seek to score. But in such evenly matched clashes, a draw is always an option, and after all, both league matches last season ended in draws. I will again bet on a draw in this match.
