One point. That's what divides Benfica from Porto as the 2016/2017 Primeira Liga heads into round 28. Last weekend, Portuguese football fans saw Benfica end up drawing Porto in the big game of that round, meaning that the title race is still as tight as ever. Both Benfica and Porto have drawn their last two games and will be eager to get back to winning ways this weekend.
Porto are in action against Belenenses, who are in a bit of a rut after losing three on the trot and could temporarily overtake Benfica with a win as they play on Saturday. Meanwhile, Benfica lock horns with Moreirense on Sunday evening, and given their opponents' bad form - they are winless in their last five - they will look to exploit that. However, Rui Vitoria's side struggled against Estoril in the Taca de Portugal earlier this week and may be a bit tired following a 3-3 draw in the second leg.
