Blow for Bruno Lage's Benfica before Santa Clara Liga clash | OneFootball

Benfica’s home match against Santa Clara, part of the fifth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, is scheduled for September 12 at 8:15 PM at Estádio da Luz. Liga Portugal announced the schedule for the next round of the National Championship this Monday, September 1. Check out all the moves from the last day of the transfer market.

This news is not particularly positive for Benfica, since international commitments—where the Luz club has several players—involve matches that only end on September 9, which complicates Bruno Lage’s preparations for the match against Santa Clara.

After the first three rounds of Liga Portugal Betclic—remember that Benfica agreed to postpone the first round—Benfica has nine points from three matches: Estrela da Amadora (1-0, away), Tondela (3-0, home), and Alverca (2-1, away). The Eagles are in fourth place with nine points. Porto leads (12 points from four games), Famalicão is second (10 points from four matches), and Sporting is third (nine points from four games).
