Big Four match-ups
One quirk of the fixture list that springs to attention is the blockbuster week 14 schedule: Braga v Benfica and Sporting v Porto. The clashes pair together the four strongest teams in Portugal. Therefore, week 31, after which just three fixtures will remain until the end of the season, could also be red hot given that the same fixtures will be reversed: Benfica v Braga and Porto v Sporting.
Ladies and gentlemen, clear your schedules for the weekend 15th-18th December, because Jornada 14 of the 23/24 Primeira Liga season will have Braga vs. Benfica, and Sporting vs. Porto ? https://t.co/z4Pt347WCM pic.twitter.com/KkaFvBNqxB

On a final note, the last weekend of the season sees Braga host Porto. The two northern clubs were fighting it out for second place for most of the tail end of the previous season.
