The two biggest clubs in Portuguese football cross paths, as Benfica host Porto in the first O Classico of 2016.
Only six points separate these two in the Primeira Liga table. Benfica sit atop with 52 points. Porto -- who also trail Sporting Lisbon -- enter the weekend third in the table (46). A loss would extend Benfica's lead by an insurmountable nine points.
For Porto boss Jose Peseiro, Friday's match is a must win.

Great news for Benfica; Salvio back in squad for first time in 9 months v Porto tomorrow. 20-man squad so might not be on bench, but still.
