Official: Estoril v Benfica scheduled for Saturday after Braga setback | OneFootball

Liga Portugal confirmed the 34th and final round schedule of the Liga Betclic, with Benfica away to Estoril on Saturday 16 May at 20:30, a fixture that could shape their European prospects.

The match at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota arrives under heavy pressure for José Mourinho’s side. After the draw with Braga at the Luz, Benfica slipped to third and now must win and hope Sporting falter to finish second.

Both clubs will kick off simultaneously. Benfica travel to Estoril while Sporting host Gil Vicente at Alvalade, with Champions League qualification at stake.

Elsewhere on the final day, Porto, already champions, host Santa Clara at 15:30, an afternoon that could double as their title celebration in front of home supporters.

At 18:00, four fixtures take place that are fundamental to the European chase and the battle for survival, before the evening is reserved for the final decisions involving Benfica and Sporting.

The visit to Estoril caps a season that could require Benfica to keep doing the maths until the last minute.
