Braga v Sporting set for earlier kick-off, ahead of the big derby | OneFootball

The match between Sporting and Braga, for the 25th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, has been scheduled for Saturday, March 7, at 6:00 PM, according to the official calendar released by Liga Portugal, announced last Thursday, February 26.

The trip of the lions to Minho comes at a decisive stage of the season and precedes the direct confrontation between candidates for the top positions of the league table. The duel thus assumes particular importance in the accounts of Rui Borges' team in the fight for the title.

In the same round, there's also the highlight of the classic between Benfica and Porto, scheduled for March 8, at 6:00 PM, at Estádio da Luz, a result that could have a direct impact on the lions' aspirations in the fight for the national championship three-peat.

Sporting returns to the field this Friday, February 26, against Estoril. The match, counting for the 24th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ian Cathro, will be played at 8:45 PM, at Estádio José Alvalade.

Benfica is in third place, with 55 points, while Porto leads the competition with 62 points.
