With a large advantage in the lead, Benfica seeks to maintain the unbeaten streak in the competition. There are already 11 games without losing in the championship and only one defeat in 22 games. Brazilian David Neres’ team arrives packed after thrashing Vitória de Guimarães 5-1.
Rio Ave, on the other hand, is having an average campaign, in eighth place, but goes into the match after two consecutive victories. The home team wants to surprise to get closer to the first places.
On the same day, Porto receives Portimonense, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto. The deputy leader still dreams of the title.
