Benfica and FC Porto go head-to-head to the 247th Clássico with both teams needing desperately to win at Estádio da Luz, as the Eagles need to narrow the 4-point gap to the 2nd-placed Dragons, that also need to win, but in order to keep their title hopes alive.

Portuguese Liga leader Sporting CP will kick-off this weekend’s round with a comfortable nine-point cushion over the chasing pack led by Sporting Braga, with FC Porto just one point behind Braga in the 3rd place and Benfica in the 4th spot already 13 points from the top.
