The schedules for the third and fourth match days of the Primeira Liga have been announced.<\/p>\n
The first Cl\u00e1ssico of the year, between Sporting CP and FC Porto, on the fourth match day, is scheduled for August 30 (Saturday) at 20:30.<\/p>\n
The match day three between Estoril Praia and Santa Clara will take place later on September 6 (Saturday), at 20:30, in the Amoreira. Santa Clara’s participation in the Conference League against Shamrock Rovers is the reason for the later date to allow Santa Clara to concentrate on the playoff.<\/p>\n
