The teams return to contention in the Portuguese championship after the FIFA data pause
The ball rolls again in the Portuguese championship this Friday (29). Benfica and Chaves will face each other at 3pm (Brasilia time), at the Estádio da Luz, in Lisbon, for the 27th round of the competition. Current vice-leader, Encarnados can provisionally occupy first place in the standings in case of victory against the last team.
How Benfica arrives
In the fight for the national title, Benfica are in second place in the Portuguese championship with 64 points, one less than leaders Sporting. Therefore, if they triumph this Friday, the Reds could provisionally take the top spot in the table. However, the Reds have one game less than their rivals.
The only recent casualty for coach Roger Schmidt is the suspended António Silva. Also out of the match is Bernat, injured.
How does Chaves get there?
On the other hand, Chaves is the team with the worst season in the competition and has scored only 19 points in 26 rounds. At the same time, the difference compared to Rio Ave, the first team out of the relegation zone, is six points.
