Benfica is forced to win this Saturday at home to Vizel in the match of the fifth round of the I Football League in order not to break away from the leader Porto, who won on Friday at the home of Estrela da Amadora.
The Reds started this round with one point less than the Dragons, who were level with Sporting and Boavista in first place, but a 1-0 triumph in Reboleira left the Blaugrana with a four-point lead over Benfica, who were thus forced to win on a field that is traditionally difficult to overcome, on pain of falling behind in the championship.
Sporting Braga, who finished third in the last edition of the League, also have to win to stay in the race for top places, six points behind Porto, who play this Saturday at home to Farense, who are back this season. to the I league.
In another meeting scheduled for this Saturday, Rio Ave will host Famalican in Vila do Conde.
