O Benfica has been suffering from setbacks at this point in the season. This Sunday, the Águias will face Estoril, at Estádio da Luz, for Portuguese Championship.
The hosts arrive for the match with morale shaken by the elimination in the Champions. To make matters worse, Benfica comes from two straight defeats in the league.
Even so, the club has a four-point lead over Porto. Therefore, the victory becomes fundamental to not give hope to the rival in the fight for the title.
On the other hand, Estoril is not going through a good time. The team is just above the relegation zone of the competition.
Porto can put pressure on the rival. That’s because he enters the field on Saturday, against Paços de Ferreira, away from home.
Check out the games of the round:
Saturday

Domingo
