The highly anticipated clash in the Portuguese Primeira Liga between FC Porto and Benfica at the Estádio do Dragão ended in a surprising 1-4 victory for the away side. The game, held on April 6, 2025, saw Benfica dominate despite FC Porto holding more possession (61% to 39%). Benfica's clinical finishing proved to be the difference. Vangelis Pavlidis was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick (1', 42', 69'), while Nicolás Otamendi added another in stoppage time (90'+4'). Samu Omorodion scored a late consolation goal for FC Porto in the 81st minute.
Statistically, both teams had 14 total shots, but Benfica were more accurate, putting 5 on target compared to FC Porto's 3. FC Porto committed more fouls (17 to 11) and received more yellow cards (3 to 1). The result defied the AI prediction, which favored an FC Porto win. The AI model also expected a balanced game, but Benfica proved too strong.
Looking at their recent form, FC Porto had been on a decent run, winning four of their last five matches prior to this game. Benfica, however, have been in superb form, securing four wins from their last five league games, with their only loss being against Barcelona in the Champions League. Examining the head-to-head record, Benfica thrashed FC Porto with the same result (4-1) in the previous match. But before that, FC Porto secured a 5-0 victory against Benfica, showing the unpredictable nature of this rivalry.
FC Porto's next game is away against Casa Pia. Casa Pia's recent form is inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses. FC Porto will need to improve defensively compared to today's match to face Casa Pia. Benfica will host Arouca in their next match. Arouca have struggled lately, losing three of their last five games. Benfica will be confident to extend their winning streak against Arouca.
Considering previous games, FC Porto's recent victory against Estoril (1-2) and Benfica's dominant win against Gil Vicente (0-3) suggest a contrast in current form. Overall, Benfica's clinical performance and recent strong form were key to their victory in this Portuguese Primeira Liga match, proving the AI prediction wrong and setting them up well for their next fixture.
