There’s just one item on the agenda in the latest PortuGOAL podcast as we look ahead to Sunday’s title-defining Benfica-Porto Clássico in Lisbon.
We discuss what approach Benfica coach Jorge Jesus may take in the knowledge that a draw would be a good result for the Eagles. We also speculate about what impact Porto’s chastening defeat at Bayern Munich in midweek may have, if Salvio’s possible absence will be a big blow for Benfica, and whether or not Lopetegui should drop goalkeeper Fabiano.
We also try to gauge the significance of home advantage in football, and point out how the lack of long-term squad planning at both clubs may bode badly for the future.
