Spicy weekend in store: Porto v Sporting & Benfica v Braga
For many people at the beginning of the season, Jornada 31 stood out as a potential season highlight with not one but two clássicos as Benfica were scheduled to play against Braga, and Porto against Sporting. Coupled with the fact that there would be only three matches remaining in the season, it had the potential to be a title and season-defining moment in the whole season.
The way things have panned out, the drama we hoped might have been there hasn’t really materialised with Sporting well ahead in the title race, but we could still see the Lions crowned champions if they win their game against Porto, and Benfica were to lose against Braga.
Whether or not this weekend does turn out to be a decisive one, the opportunity to watch Portugal’s biggest clubs against each other doesn’t come around too often, so the chance to watch two heavyweight matchups in one weekend is not to be missed.
