Benfica vs Porto match preview
It’s the traditional curtain raiser to the new Portuguese season, with two of the country’s biggest sides going head-to-head at Estádio Municipal de Aveiro.
Benfica ended their four-year wait to be Primeira Liga champions last season, romping to the title, starting the season on fire, before slowing down towards the end, but, just about, holding on.
Roger Schmidt’s team also reached the Champions League quarter-finals, eventually ousted by Inter, and will be back in the group stages of that competition again next month.
Here, Orkun Kökçü and David Jurásek could make their debuts for the Eagles, while Ángel Di María is back, returning to Lisbon 13 years after leaving for Real Madrid.
So, will Benfica begin the new season by lifting a ninth Supercup?
FC Porto meantime are the record 23-times Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira winners, swatting aside Tondela in this competition 12 months ago, aiming to got back-to-back for the first time since 2013.
Sérgio Conceição’s side would go on to complete a cup treble, beating Sporting in January’s Taça da Liga Final and then prevailing 2-0 against Braga in the Taça de Portugal Final back in June.
In the league, despite concluding the campaign with nine successive wins, the Dragões could not catch Benfica, ultimately finishing second by just two points.
Nevertheless, Porto will also feature in the Champions League group stages, so don’t have qualified to worry about this month.
Nico González and Fran Navarro could both make their debuts for the club in this one, having joined from Barcelona and Gil Vicente respectively.
Before both get their Primeira Liga campaigns up-and-running on Monday, who will win the 2023 Supertaça in Aveiro?
