The Taca da Liga semi-finals bring a high-stakes clash as Braga look to defend their title against a Benfica side eager to end a nine-year drought in the competition. Braga enter with confidence after a 2-1 league win over Benfica last weekend, breaking the hosts' perfect home record this season.

Despite the setback, Bruno Lage's Benfica aim to bounce back and add to their seven Taca da Liga titles, though they’ve struggled in recent years with just one final appearance since 2016. They advanced to this year’s semi-finals by defeating Santa Clara but were upset at this stage last season by Estoril.

Braga, three-time winners of the competition, focus on cup success as they sit fourth in the league. Carlos Carvalhal's team is strong on the road, with six straight domestic away wins, and will aim for another upset in a busy month that includes six games across four competitions.
