Primeira Liga (Portuguese League) Discussion

[Slow death]

We have left another week behind in the league. Sporting and Porto continued winning but Benfica lost two points this time. Sporting are the leader and four points away from their closest competitors Porto and Benfica. If I am not wrong, Sporting haven't been the champion in the league for 20 years. They have a big chance to make this happen this year.

It would be a revolutionary thing if sporting was a champion, but looking at the classification it is clear that in the end Porto will be champions. knowing that benfica has serious problems when he plays because he misses opportunities to score a goal and as if that were not too much trouble they have problems staying too long with the ball in the opponent's zone, but when the opponents arrive in the benfica zone in the majority sometimes they score goals against benfica. there's no point playing well when they don't win... while the porto has a way of playing that produces results and wins games. porto will be champion again

Sporting are going to play an away game against Nacional tomorrow night. They still maintain their awesome unbeaten streak. Nacional are the 9th with 13 points in the league and I don't think they can fight back against Sporting. When I look at the head-to-head matches, Sporting overwhelmed them on so many matches. I think this will be another easy win for Sporting.

Sporting have a really good performance lately but I agree with you on Porto are more reliable team for being the champion. They are way more experienced team in this kind of situations comparing to Sporting. Porto are the last champion and I think the championship race will be between Sporting and Porto this season. I don't believe too that Benfica can do it this season. They are very unstable and I don't trust them this year.

Benfica are going to play a home game against Tondela tomorrow night. Benfica are the 3rd with 28 points and Tondela are the 13th with 12 points. Benfica haven't lost for 5 matches in the league. Tondela got a win last week after 4 weeks of bad form. I think Tondela have no chance here and Benfica will win the match so easily.

CD Nacional 0-2 Sporting

sporting could have scored a lot of goals, but certain players have become selfish and the rain has also affected the performance of the teams

Benfica 2-0 Tondela

benfica played as usual, but tondela wasted 1 goal

Famalicão 1-4 FC Porto

something funny about that game is that until 19 minutes they were draw thanks to the penalty that the Famalicão was able to have and it even looked like the Famalicão would be able to draw, then the porto was also lucky to score a penalty against the Famalicão and after that came more two goals. porto still has a great chance of being champion again, but the big test for the porto will be the next game against Benfica

[ILuckyGuyI]

Porto got a clear 4-1 win against Famalicao. Porto were better in the first half and they finished it 2-1 ahead. Famalicao's only shot was goal. In the second half, we saw a more balanced game according to statistics. But Porto secured the win by scoring two more goals. They follow Sporting still 4 points behind.

Sporting continue playing very good and won another game. Their opponent is not a powerful team though. Benfica and Porto had weak opponents too and they got their easy wins. There is going to be an important match between Porto and Benfica next week. I can't wait to see it.

Excellent and dominating display from both Sporting lisbon and porto who both won away from home in an interesting title race. Benfica is also not far off from the title race with a comfortable home to remain 3rd on the log. I  will be making a bet on title winner after game week 18

Porto are going to play a home game against Benfica this week. I think there is a delightful match waiting for us. Porto are the 2nd and Benfica are the 3rd in the league. Both teams have 31 points. Porto have been winning for 7 matches. Benfica haven't lost for 5 matches (4W 1D). On the last 5 head-to-head matches, Porto have a dominance (4W 1L). I think Porto will be the winner on this match and both teams will score.

True, the result of this game will define the second of the championship for the next round, it will certainly be a very beautiful game to watch.

As Sporting maintains a good distance in the leadership, the victory of one of the teams is crucial in this game to cheer up to the team to the search for leadership, since even a tie would be very bad for both teams.

And... contrary to you, my bet is for benfica's victory

Yes its a big step for either teams so they can keep the winning streak and keep their chances at the title and it will be difficult i do not think porto will win easily i think a draw is more logical in this match and that will be beneficial for sporting .

Sporting will have a quite easy match comparing to this match. I think they will get an easy win against Rio Ave home and start waiting for the result of Porto-Benfica match. I agree on that it will be a hard match for both teams and I expect a draw too.

[ziyaaa]

If Porto-Benfica match ends in a draw and Sporting win again, Sporting will increase the point difference with them to seven points which means Sporting will be one step closer to the title. I really want Sporting to take the championship this year. They haven't done it for many many years and I think they really deserve this season.

There are two days left to the Porto-Benfica game. This is one of the very important games in the league. Both teams are doing awesome things this season and they have the same points. But I believe that Porto will make use of playing home and defeat Benfica. My another bet will be on both teams to score.

It should be very interesting game. Porro will play at home and according to bookmakers, they are little favored by them. But I think there is no favorite, both teams are playing very well recently. But I will back Pprto tomorrow.
If game will end with a draw, real winners of it will be Sporting.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Sporting are playing a home against Rio Ave now. I expect Sporting to get a clear win here and wait for a favorable result from Porto-Benfica game. If that game ends in a draw, it will be very beneficial for Sporting on the road to the championship.

Porto 1 - 1 Benfica

the players are entering the field, it will be an interesting game to watch and I think the port has a better chance of winning this game

Edit: Benfica scored a goal and it didn't take long for porto to tie the game

i agree with you, i think Porto has a good chance to win the match, and the odds on them to win are very tempting @2.51 , i think it's worth it,
i am also suspecting a 2 goals each draw, i'll watch how the 2nd half begins and see what to do.

[LTU_btc]

O Clássico ended with 1:1 draw and status quo in the table remains. It was good game to watch, especially in the first half quality of game was great. 1:1 score probably reflects game very well.
In other game, Sporting wasted their chance to increase their lead and didn't managed to beat Rio Ave.
So, nothing hasn't changed on top 3 of table and all fight is ahead.

Benfica wasted many opportunities to score. in the 29th minute they had a great chance to score the second goal, in the 62nd minute benfica wasted yet another great opportunity to score and 10 minutes later the porto almost scored the second goal
. minutes later the porto player had a red card, not even with porto playing with 10 players benfica continued to waste opportunities to score goals and the game ended with a draw. The problem with benfica Is that has many opportunities to score goals, but fails
