In search of the leader, Benfica will visit Nacional this Sunday (6), at 2pm (Brasilia time), on the island of Madeira, for the eighth round of the Portuguese championship. The team led by Bruno Lage, former Botafogo coach, is in third place. They are therefore the favorites in the comparison with their modest opponent, who has only five points from seven games.

How is Benfica arriving?
Benfica have gained momentum to compete for the Portuguese title following their recent season results. The Lisbon team arrives motivated by the 4-0 defeat against Spain’s Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League and is favorite for the match. Indeed, the defeat of the Spanish team was not the only one in the last matches. Recently, Águias also defeated Santa Clara (4-1) and Gil Vicente (5-1) in the Portuguese championship.
How does the national team arrive?
With just five points won in seven games, Nacional is a candidate for relegation to the Portuguese second division. The mission against Benfica will not be easy. Therefore, coach Tiago Margarido can make specific changes to try to make life difficult for one of the season’s title candidates and avoid another defeat, as happened against Sporting when they lost 6-1.
