The possibility of Benfica winning the title in the next round after the victory with Sp. Braga (1-0), the fans’ expectations have increased dramatically.
With a capacity of five thousand, more than half of Portimonense’s stadium is expected to wear the colors of the captain. However, the support won’t just stay in the stands, you know poison. Many fans who do not have a ticket will travel to the Algarve to support the team from the first moment of their arrival in Portimão, and also benefit from a trip to the region’s beaches, where temperatures are expected to be around 30 degrees.The hotel where the delegation will be staying will also be attended by many supporters who are already preparing for unconditional support moves for the prominent tournament leader on social networks.Before and after the match (even in a scenario that is not a victory over Portimonense), Benfica fans will be close to the stadium to try and push the team towards its 38th title.
The security forces are also already planning to build an enhanced device to avoid any redundant condition.Program of travel to Algarve not disclosed. The trip by bus can take place on the eve of the match, but it can also take place on the day itself, as is customary for trips to the north of the country.
In this scenario, the delegation would fly to Faro Airport on Saturday morning, and immediately transfer to the hotel in the vicinity of the city of Portimao, where they would stay until heading to the Municipal Stadium. Avoiding fatigue and loss of concentration at this crucial stage of the tournament is the main concern of the coaching staff and managers. Schmidt does not want any lack of focus in the team and tries to keep the locker room armored before decisions are made.
