Before the Classic, there is another duel that could have implications for the fight for the title and the League podium between Benfica and Sp. Braga. As usual, Maisfutebol will follow the match EVERY MINUTE from 6pm, at Estádio da Luz. Tomás Araújo and Juan Bernat are confirmed absences from the red team while João Neves is in doubt. If the Eagles lose, Sporting will be one victory away from the title, but in case of victory, they will secure second place and access to the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. The draw could also allow Schmidt’s team to secure second place as long as FC Porto does not beat Sporting. What can be decided in this round: champion, second place and even relegation
In turn, the Braga fans go to Luz without Abel Ruiz, suspended. A victory against Benfica guarantees nothing for Sp. Braga on the 31st round, regardless of what FC Porto does. This is because the Bragaenses, like the Dragons, are 11 points behind the Eagles, and with a victory in Luz they would reduce the disadvantage for the second placed team to eight points.Check out the likely teams in the gallery associated with the article.
