📊 Match recap and data context

Porto beat Benfica 3-1 in Liga Portugal, overturning our model's 37% pick for a Benfica win. Gabri Veiga opened the scoring in the 31st minute, then Porto added two more after the break through Victor Froholdt in the 54th, with Alexander Bah's 51st-minute reply proving insufficient. The result marked a sharp reversal of recent form; Porto had managed just one win in five matches prior, while Benfica arrived on a two-win run. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
