Last week, Benfica salvaged a point during their match against Boavista. But despite their heoric 3-3 comeback, dropping two points benefitted Porto, who cut the Eagles' lead after beating Moreirense 3-0. This weekend, the Dragons will put a bit more pressure on Rui Vitoria's side, as they play on Saturday against Rio Ave. The Eagles, on the other side, will host a second straight match at Estadio Da Luz against last-placed Tondela, a team that has lost three games in a row.
