At the start of round 31 of the Portuguese championship, Sporting appears in third place in the leaderboard, with 56 record points, leaving the “lions” 11 points away from rival Benfica and with an advantage of only three points against Braga, with whom they have a disadvantage in direct confrontation, the main criterion for the tiebreaker in case of punctual equality at the end of the League. In the last round, the team led by Rúben Amorim broke a sequence of four consecutive victories, not going beyond the initial 0-0, after traveling to Moreira de Cónegos, where he faced Moreirense. With difficulty creating dangerous moves in the last third, Sporting still played in numerical superiority from the 51st minute, but could not have enough art and ingenuity to achieve victory.

In their last match, they tied with Gil Vicente away by (1‑1), after in the previous match they lost at home, in a match against Porto, by (0‑2).

In tenth place in the general classification table, Santa Clara reaches this round with 38 points, the same as Boavista, two more than Gil Vicente and one less than Moreirense. The Azores team has a maintenance goal in their pocket and is heading to this game to react to the bad moment, which occurred after the defeats recorded in the last two rounds of the championship. After losing, as a visitor, against Boavista (1-0), João Henriques’ team was beaten again by the minimum margin, on reception against Marítimo (0-1). The match even had contours of balance, but Santa Clara did not have the discernment to reach the goal, unlike its opponent, who scored the only goal of the match in the 71st minute, after a dead ball.
