Super Sunday

Bars and cafés throughout Portugal will be packed on Sunday afternoon as Benfica will be crowned Primeira Liga champions if they beat CD National (Madeira) at the Luz Stadium in Lisbon. If Benfica do win the league it will be their third title in a row. Victory against Marítimo (0-2) in Funchal last weekend was the Eagles 12th consecutive league win and kept them two points ahead of arch-rivals Sporting Lisbon. The Lions, who kept the pressure on the top spot with a 5-0 win against V. Setúbal, face a tricky trip to SC Braga. All games kick-off at 4pm on Sunday.
