Sporting Lisbon, where Mozambican Geny Catamo plays, are looking to take the lead in the I Liga today, Sunday, at the Estádio da Luz, against Benfica, who must win and convince in the most historic derby in Portuguese soccer, on the 12th matchday of the I Liga..

In the event of a win, the "lions", who are the only team yet to lose in the competition, will be in the driving seat and will have a six-point lead over Benfica, who are second, and also FC Porto, who went to Guimarães on Saturday to beat Vitória 2-1.

As for Benfica, according to SIC Notícias, they need a win and a good display to get their season back on track, which has already been rather uneven in terms of displays and also in the Champions League campaign, where they have zero points from four matches and have already been eliminated.

For these reasons, the presence of coach Roger Schdmit at the helm of the Reds is already causing some protests, even after the German led the club to the league title last season.

Benfica-Sporting, which closes the round, is scheduled for 20:30 and will be refereed by Artur Soares Dias, from the Porto Football Association.

Also today, at 18:00, fourth-placed Sporting de Braga visit last-placed Arouca.
