Portugal's trio avoided each other in the draw for the quarter-finals of the Europa League Friday.
An all-Portuguese or all-Dutch final in Dublin in May 18 remained a possibility after the pairings in the last eight, which for the first time in Europa League or UEFA Cup history did not feature a team from Germany, England or Italy.
Spain's hopes Villarreal, who eliminated Bayer Leverkusen, face Dutch champions FC Twente, while Benfica come up against PSV Eindhoven in a Portuguese-Dutch duel.
Two-time European champions Porto face Spartak Moscow, while Portugal's other hope Sporting Braga, who knocked out Liverpool, face Ukrainians Dynamo Kiev.
Braga and Benfica could meet in the semi-finals if they win their ties.
