This Sunday, the Estádio do Dragão in Porto will host a highly anticipated Primeira Liga clash between the league's top two teams, Porto and Benfica.
As of October 5th, 2025, Porto have maintained a perfect 100% record across all competitions this season. They most recently won 4-0 away at Arouca in the league on Monday and defeated Crvena zvezda 2-1 at home in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. The Dragões have conceded just two goals in their nine games so far.
Benfica, known as the Águias, have also enjoyed an unbeaten start to the campaign, winning five of their seven league matches. However, they suffered a narrow 1-0 away loss to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week. In their previous league outing, Benfica overcame Gil Vicente 2-1, thanks to a brace from Vangelis Pavlidis.
Porto have a strong home record against Benfica in recent years, winning three of their last six Primeira Liga meetings at the Estádio do Dragão, scoring three goals in each of those victories. The visitors will be looking to bounce back from their midweek European defeat and maintain their unbeaten start to the domestic season.
With both teams in excellent form and the rivalry between the two clubs, this promises to be a thrilling encounter at the top of the Portuguese league table.
