Benfica and Sporting will play on April 2nd, but before the derby both clubs still have one game to play. Benfica hosts Chaves and Sporting will face Estrela da Amadora. Pay attention to the Lions’ side, with Ruben Amorim in danger of being missing for the league derby, with six players at risk of suspension if they receive a yellow card during their visit to Reboleira.
In the championship, any player who accumulates five yellow cards is suspended for the next game. At Sporting there are five players with four yellow cards: Ousmane Diomande, Pedro Gonçalves, Marcus Edwards, Nuno Santos and Ricardo Esgaio.
With the possibility of reaching ninth (which also leads to a one-game suspension) is Morten Hjulmand, who so far has eight.
This scenario could lead Ruben Amorim to carry out some management in the Reboleira game this Friday.
Regarding Benfica, António Silva will serve a suspension, also due to the accumulation of yellow cards, but it will be in this game against Chaves, to be held this Friday, so he will be able to play in the derby.
