Benfica will look to bolster their title hopes with four matches remaining in the season when they welcome Sporting Braga to the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Saturday for a one-on-one Liga Portugal clash scheduled to kick off at 17:00 GMT.
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.
Braga are in a fight for qualification to the Europa League and the Europa Conference League as the Liga Portugal comes to its conclusion.
In their last five matches, Braga have shown good form, won four times and lost once. They have won their last two back-to-back matches away to Estoril Praia (0-1) and at home to Vizela (2-1).
They will look to make it three consecutive wins in Liga Portugal on Saturday when they play title-chasing Benfica away from home. A win will bolster their chance of making it into a European slot at the end of the season.
Benfica have won the last three matches the two sides have met, scored five times, conceded twice, and kept two clean sheets. In their last five meetings, Braga have won once and help Benfica to a solitary draw.
Benfica will be without the injured Tomas Araujo with an ankle injury, whereas Braga will miss the services of the sidelined left winger Ricardo Horta.
Benfica will win the home match, take the three points, and keep their title hopes alive in the run-in.
