What is at stake in the last day of Portugal

Date:

When Porto is declared champion and places in Europe are closed, the final day of the Portuguese League will decide which teams will go directly to the Second Division, a destination where Tondela, Moreirense and Belenenses are trying to escape.

The relegation was played this Saturday afternoon, the day Porto will also take to the pitch, which will host Estoril at home after being crowned champion the previous day and winning their 30th league title.

The three teams in the conflict have a complicated future: none of them will guarantee permanence on this final day, but they are battling to be third from the bottom and thus play for first place in a playoff match. in third place. Second. The last two classified are directly below the second.

Belenenses, bottom with 25 points, have the hardest, although victory could serve them well if Moreirense (26 points) and Tondela (27 points) stumble. Those from Belém, who this year have won just five games, visited the Arouca stadium, guaranteeing safety the previous day and will play without pressure.

At the same time, Moreirense will face Vizela at home, another of the teams that earned their stay last week. Moreirense is worth a win or a draw, depending on what the other two teams do, though it doesn’t depend on itself.

The only one who will make and play in the playoffs for sure if they win is Tondela, who also has a field factor and hosts Boavista, a historic club that ended up in the middle of the table this year. Whether they are drawn or defeated, Tondela’s future depends on what their rivals do.

The club, which until five days ago was coached by Spanish Pako Ayestarán, could receive a lime and one in the sand this year: it could drop to second but be classified for the Portuguese Cup final, which will play against Porto .

The champion, who has claimed the League title in a dream setting, the stadium of eternal rival Benfica, will play his final game on Saturday against Estoril and will eventually be received at the northern city’s City Hall to celebrate championship.

On Saturday, the only team to have contested the title to almost the end, Sporting, which hosts Santa Clara at home, will also play. Porto and Sporting have direct passes to the group stage of the next Champions League, while Benfica, third placed, will have to play a preliminary round.

The ‘eagles’, who have had a disappointing season at home but were able to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, will end the league at Paços de Ferreira stadium, the game that will open matchday 34 this Friday.

The remaining positions in Europe are also closed, waiting to know what will happen in the final cup. Braga, fourth, and Gil Vicente, fifth, were classified for the Conference League.

Braga will close out the season on Sunday in Famalicao, while Gil Vicente will face Vitoria de Guimarães, also far away. Vitoria, sixth, is the team that knows best what could happen in the Cup final.

If Tondela wins, they will take the place in the Europa League. If Porto wins, Braga will go into that competition and Vitoria will enter the Conference League.
