It’s a day of great derbies again. Starting from the Lisbon derby, that is Benfica against Sporting, a match that can reserve many surprises as happened only three weeks ago with 7-6 in favor of Sporting with a stratospheric Romero. It is also the day of Porto Fidelidade against Tomar IPT: the reigning European champions must redeem themselves from the 5-3 defeat suffered in December to ensure qualification. In the same group, Lleida and Trissino will play the other chances to advance to the quarter-finals. Another team that is one step away from qualification is Oliveirense Simoldes, who despite the defeat against Lodi, can try to qualify against the French Saint-Omer, the biggest revelation of this season. In the same group, with three teams divided by just two points, Lodi against Valongo Colquimica (tie in the 1st leg) only one will still be able to think of fighting for qualification on the last day. Barça can also close the score with their qualification in the home match at the PalauBlaugrana against Centro Porsche Firenze VH Forte, the last opportunity to reopen the group, while Barcelos will play in their home match against Deportivo Liceo, last in the standings. The derbies also speak for themselves: the Catalan derby between Reus Deportiu Virginias and Parlem Calafell: Reus is looking for his first points while Calafell still has a chance to qualify, but he will have to win against Reus, which has already happened in the Ok Liga.Live scoring as always on http://wse.sidgad.com
