Academica vs Benfica
Benfica will be coming into this match having lost their first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals tie against Bayern Munich. Although the Portuguese outfit's fans will be relieved it was just a 1-0 defeat, they will nonetheless be very concerned about their chances in the second leg as key attacker Jonas will be suspended for the match next week.
Meanwhile, Rui Vitoria's side are still on top of the Primeira Liga, but have seen their lead cut to just two with Sporting CP - who are led by ex-Benfica boss Jorge Jesus - hot on their tails. As such, with less than ten rounds remaining, the pressure will be on the Eagles to stay ahead of the chasing pack and not allow Sporting CP even the slightest bit of opportunity to re-claim top spot.
Fortunately, perhaps for Benfica - who will be traveling for their upcoming round of 29 clash - will be next taking on a side who are likely making a return to the second tier next season. Filipe Gouveia's Academica have had a torrid time this term and presently sit in a disappointing 17th spot, with 23 points from their first 28 matches and just five wins all season.
Although they are two points behind the 16th-placed Boavista, Academica have only won one of their past five matches and were humiliated 3-0 in their reverse fixture with Benfica earlier this season. For all intents and purposes, Vitoria's side are by far the heavy favorites to pick up all three points from Saturday's game.

Sporting CP vs Maritimo
Under the guidance of former Benfica manager Jorge Jesus, Sporting CP are hoping to clinch their first Primeira Liga title in over a decade. Currently, the Lions are just two points behind the Eagles in the league standings. And given that they play after Benfica, they could potentially overtake Rui Vitoria's squad in the table and in the title race - provided, of course that Academica pull off a surprise upset.
Sporting CP will be coming into this game having won their past three games on the trot and will be seeking to make it four to stay within this season's title race. Their upcoming opponents, Maritimo, are presently in a fair but not spectular 12th place. With nine points between them and the drop, the visitors are likely to remain in Portuguese football's top flight for yet another season. Nonetheless, they will surely want to cause as much problems for the Lions as they themselves hope to break into the top half of the table.
