Another week, another authentic 'flood' of high-caliber games at a decisive time in the season, which is already coming to an end. With that in mind, Desporto ao Minuto presents you with the seven 'headliner' matches of the coming days, on which you can place your bets, at Betclic.

 

Taça de Portugal: Benfica-Sporting (April 2, 8:45 pm) 

The Taça de Portugal will know its first finalist on Tuesday, with Benfica  hosting rival Sporting at the Estádio da Luz. The Lions have the advantage, due to the result of the 1st leg (2-1), but the last victory at their rival's home, for the Cup, dates back... to January 2000! 

What will be the outcome this time, 24 years later? A Benfica victory pays 2.21, a draw 3.10 and a Sporting triumph 2.60.

Taça de Portugal: Vitória SC-FC Porto (April 3, 8:15 pm) 

The following day, on Wednesday, it is the turn of Vitória SC and FC Porto to start disputing the other place in the Jamor final, with the 1st leg match taking place at the D. Afonso Henriques. 

The history of confrontations is largely favorable to FC Porto, which has won 117 of the 178 games played against the Vitorians. However, it is worth remembering that in 2004 Vitória received and eliminated FC Porto in the 4th round of the Taça de Portugal, with Nuno Assis scoring twice in the match. 

Will we have a new surprise about 20 years later?

Premier League: Chelsea-Manchester United (April 4, 8:15 pm)

Thursday is a big game day in England. Chelsea hosts Manchester United, of Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, at Stamford Bridge, and the excitement is more than guaranteed. 

Nervousness should take hold of the Blues fans, as they have not known what it is like to beat United for seven consecutive games. 

Will we see this trend reversed? A Chelsea victory pays 1.85, a draw 3.45, while a Manchester United triumph is worth 3.03.

Serie A: AS Roma-Lazio (April 6, 5:00 pm) 

Saturday will be particularly hot... in Rome. The two rivals of the Italian capital will face off at the mythical Stadio Olimpico, at a time when Lazio recently changed coaches. 

History proves the balance that exists, but it is worth remembering that Roma has not beaten its eternal rival since March 2020. Four years later, will it be able to smile again?

A victory for AS Roma pays 1.91, while a draw is worth 3.02. In turn, a Lazio triumph has odds of 3.28.

I Liga: Sporting-Benfica (April 6, 8:30 pm) 

Portugal will also be equally hot due to another eternal derby in Lisbon. After settling accounts in the Cup, Sporting and Benfica will face off again in the championship, at a stage when every point lost can be costly in the fight for the title. 

The last time they faced each other in Alvalade, for the I Liga, there was a draw (2-2), and in the other two occasions there was a victory for each side. 

If we look at the total history of games between Sporting and Benfica for the championship at the Lions' home ground, we quickly realize that the balance is the dominant note: 33 Sporting victories, 22 draws and 34 Benfica victories. 

What is your bet?

Premier League: Manchester United-Liverpool (3:30 pm) 

After visiting Chelsea, Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot's United have the difficult mission of hosting Liverpool, who return to Old Trafford seeking revenge for their elimination in the FA Cup. 

However, this will be a championship duel and it is worth remembering that the first leg game, at Anfield, ended in a draw (0-0). 

Will there be goals this time? A United victory pays 3.57, a draw 3.15 and a Liverpool triumph 1.78.
