Benfica will be aiming to close the gap to four points behind Sporting Lisbon in the Primeira Liga when they host Braga at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday. Both Benfica and Sporting face tough matches, but Sporting may encounter more challenges as they visit FC Porto's stadium.

Despite criticism following their elimination from the Europa League, despite winning the championship last season, many fans are calling for the coach's dismissal. A poor result in this match would be detrimental to Benfica's coach.

In their last league game, Benfica responded well to their Europa League exit and played strongly, defeating Farense 3-1, with the potential for more goals.

João Neves is doubtful for the match.

Braga has been struggling in recent games, with coach Artur Jorge departing for Brazil, leaving the team in the hands of a youth coach, resulting in poor performances and difficulty in securing victories.

Since returning from injury, Ricardo Horta hasn't been at his best, and Simon Banza has struggled to find the net.

In their last league game, they scraped a 2-1 victory, facing significant challenges.

There are no new absences in the team.

Expecting an exciting match, both teams will be eager to win, with plenty of opportunities expected. Benfica, being stronger and playing at home, is clearly the favorite to win.

本周六，本菲卡将在卢兹球场主场迎战布拉加，他们的目标是缩小与里斯本竞技的4分差距。本菲卡和里斯本竞技都将面临艰难的比赛，但里斯本竞技在做客波尔图球场时可能会遇到更多的挑战。

尽管他们在欧联杯被淘汰后受到了批评，尽管上赛季赢得了冠军，但许多球迷都要求教练被解雇。这场比赛的糟糕结果会对本菲卡的教练不利。

在上一场联赛中，本菲卡队在欧联杯出局后表现出色，表现强劲，以3-1击败法国队，并有可能取得更多进球。

内维斯能否参加这场比赛尚存疑问。

布拉加在最近的比赛中表现不佳，教练阿尔图尔·豪尔赫(Artur Jorge)前往巴西，将球队交给了一名青训教练，导致球队表现不佳，难以取得胜利。

自从伤愈复出后，里卡多·奥尔塔一直没有发挥出最佳状态，西蒙·班扎也一直在努力寻找进球机会。

在上一场联赛中，他们以2比1险胜，面临着巨大的挑战。

球队中没有新的缺阵队员。

期待着一场激动人心的比赛，两支球队都渴望胜利，期待着大量的机会。本菲卡更强大，在主场比赛，显然是最受欢迎的。
