The international break is finally over, meaning that all of Europe's leagues are back in action this weekend. Over in the Primeira Liga, the biggest game of round 27 will be Benfica taking on Porto. Given that both teams comprise two parts of Portugal's so-called "Big 3" sides, any clash between these two sides is always a big affair for Primeira Liga fans.
However, this time around, it's even more crucial. As things stand, the title race is likely to go down to the wire between reigning champions Benfica and Porto. Right now, only one point - and one place - divide the Eagles, who sit in first from the Dragons, who are right behind them in second, meaning that more than just three points are at stake in Saturday's big clash.
