The Portuguese Championship already seems sealed with Benfica largely in the lead, but this Friday evening, April 7, there is the Classico between the Lisbon people and Porto.
The Portuguese Championship will, unless surprised, be won by Benfica, which has a 10-point lead over second-placed Porto 8 days from the end. The two clubs will meet tonight on the 27th day of La Liga Portugal. In case of Águias victories, the suspense will be definitively closed. Especially since Porto will present themselves this Friday April 7 at the Estádio da Luz where the Lisbon people have not lost in the Championship since May 7, 2022.
Porto were the last to defeat them at home. The defending champions will be able to try to repeat this performance. Absences from Sergio Conceição’s training are however more numerous. Pepe, for example, will be sidelined due to a head injury. The club is further threatened by Braga who are third in the table and two points behind the Dragões. In Portugal, third place is synonymous with play-offs in the Champions League while second place is directly qualifying.
The evening of April 7, 2023 is an evening of “O Classico” in Portugal with Benfica hosting Porto at 7:00 p.m.
For this sublime Portuguese poster, RMC Sport has awarded itself the rights to La Liga Portugal.
RMC Sport will also broadcast this opposition from La Liga Portugal on its streaming platforms (laptops, computers, tablets…).
This match is crucial in the hearts of the supporters of each team. The two coaches will line up the best eleven possible even if a quarter-final of the Champions League awaits Benfica on Tuesday April 11. On the other hand, there will be some notable absences on both sides. The capital club will compose without Goncalo Guedes or Mihailo Ristic absent. At Porto, Pepe, Diogo Costa, Evanilson or Joao Mario should also be unavailable.
