This Sunday, FC Porto can equal Benfica and Sporting at the top of the Primeira Liga if they win on their visit to Vizela, on the ninth matchday of the championship. The Dragons can take advantage of the draw at the Eagles’ home against Casa Pia, equaling the 22 points of the Reds and the Lions, who only play this Monday, at the Bessa.
