Key Highlights

Benfica Will Look to Keep Their Title Hopes Alive with a Home Win

Benfica will look to make it three back-to-back wins in the Liga Portugal when they host Braga on Saturday. They responded to the 2-1 loss to the league leaders earlier this month with back-to-back wins against Moreirense at home (3-0) and away to Farense (1-3).

Benfica sit second on the Liga Portugal table with 73 points, seven points behind leaders Sporting with just four matches remaining in the season.

A loss at home to Braga on Saturday will all but seal the title for Sporting. To keep their hopes alive in the run-in, Benfica must win on Saturday and keep fighting until it is mathematically impossible, thus pushing Sporting all the way.
