The clash between the two Portuguese giants will put an end to an atypical year. Follow this clash with our detailed guide.

One of the most anticipated games of the season in Portugal will take place on Wednesday when Porto lock horns with Benfica with the Portuguese Super Cup at stake.

The game, which was delayed from its original date due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will mean the high point of the year for both these teams, which get to this clash in stellar form.

Porto get to this clash on a four-game winning streak in all comps, including a 2-0 win over Olympiakos that sealed their spot in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. The Dragons have not lost a single game since their 3-2 defeat against Paços de Ferreira on October 30, and they have accumulated nine wins and one draw during that run.

On the other side of the pitch, Benfica arrive to the Super Cup on an eight-match streak without a loss in all comps, including six wins and two draws. The Eagles' last loss in any competition came in the Portuguese top-flight against Braga (3-2) on November 8, and their previous match concluded in a 2-0 win over Gil Vicente last weekend.

This will be the 30th Super Cup game for Porto. The Dragons are the most successful team in this tournament's history with 21 titles, with their last trophy of the sort coming in 2018, when they defeated Desportivo Das Aves. On the other hand, Benfica have appeared in 20 Super Cup finals, taking eight of those home. In fact, Benfica enter this game as defending champions, having beaten Sporting 5-0 in the 2019 edition.
