Porto - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis
Porto have won every one of their six Liga Portugal games this season, a run that has them top of the table on 18 points. Their most recent league result was a 4-1 win away at Casa Pia, coming right after their only defeat of the campaign in any competition, a 2-0 loss at Manchester City in the Champions League.
Three of Porto's six league wins have come on the road, at Rio Ave, Académico Viseu and Casa Pia. Their three home games have all been won too, though never by more than a single goal in front of their own fans.
Benfica have won five of their six league games and lost none, their only blemish a 2-2 draw against Académico Viseu on the opening weekend.
They have won every game since, and have not been held below two goals in a single league match this season.
That run includes a 7-0 win at Casa Pia and a 4-0 win at Moreirense before Saturday's 3-1 victory over Gil Vicente. Benfica also have European form to consider, having won 2-0 away at Milan in the Europa League in midweek, a result that could bring squad rotation into Sunday's game.

Porto & Benfica Lisbon Squad Analysis
Vangelis Pavlidis has been the difference-maker for Benfica, scoring eight of the team's 21 league goals and contributing ten goal involvements in total, comfortably the most on either side this season. Gianluca Prestianni, the league's top-rated player of the campaign so far, has added five goals and two assists of his own.
Pavlidis has scored eight of Benfica's 21 league goals in six games this season.
Porto's threat is shared more evenly. Gabri Veiga, Borja Sainz and André Silva have three league goals apiece, with Gabri Veiga also leading the squad for assists. Meanwhile, William Gomes and Jakub Kiwior have been Porto's top performers by average rating.
With Benfica's goals leaning heavily on one player and Porto spreading the scoring across several, whichever defense copes better with the opposing side's specific threat is likely to shape how open Sunday's game becomes.
