Primeira Liga (Portuguese League) Discussion

[ajanwalker]

Yesterday I watched Lisbon's game. We can say that sporting did not have a hard time against boavista, the once strong team. Sporting did not stumble on this away. Let me also mention that in any country, the matches without spectators have no taste. I hope the epidemic is over as soon as possible and there will be spectators in stadiums.

Porto are going to play a home game against Rio Ave next Monday. Porto are the 2nd with 35 points and Rio Ave are the 10th with 15 points. Porto didn't get any loss (4W 1D) and Rio Ave won only once (1W 1D 3L) in the last 5 games in the league. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Porto won 3 times and the rest of them ended in a draw. Porto are chasing Sporting for the championship and I think they won't make a mistake while Sporting have a game against Benfica on the same week.

I am also unhappy about the matches being played with no supporters. I want to believe that we will leave behind these hard times as soon as possible. Anyway, Sporting are still unbeaten this season. They played 15 games and won 12 of them. I support them again in their game against Benfica next week. I think they will win it too.

The match between Nacional Madeira vs Famalicao will be held tomorrow. Both teams are at the bottom of the points table. Nacional is the 14th in the point table and Famalicao is the 15th. I want to bet on Nacional. I think Nacional will win the match.

Yes, maybe but I'm sure the two teams with the same points will make the game tough, even though Nacional plays at home I don't think that's a guarantee for 3 points. Famalicao when playing away has a better record with 7 away games, 2 win and draw, 3 losses. Likewise with the home team, I don't think it's a good record so both teams still have a chance to get 3 points but I still believe a draw will be the final result in this match.

It is very difficult to guess about the teams in the middle of the points table. Because they are very unpredictable. They win against the hard team and then lose against the easy team. But their matches against easy teams are very exciting. I enjoy these matches very much

Mehdi Taremi continues to shine in Portugal where the Iranian professional footballer who plays for FC Porto has been rated among the best players in Portugal Primeira Liga in January. I like how he plays, surely one of the best strikers this season in Portugal.

Sporting are going to play a home game against Benfica next week. There is a huge game waiting for us surely. Sporting maintain their lead with 39 points and Benfica are the 3rd with 33 points. Sporting (4W 1D) and Benfica (2W 3D) both had no loss in the last 5 games in the league. Benfica got a surprise result against Nacional in their last game and they had many important missing players. The situation is still the same for them. So, I think Sporting won't lose this opportunity and will beat them here.

This game will be great certainly I think. Benfica had many players who were sick but they finally started to get well. So, I started to believe that we will see a challenging and competitive game. This is one of the important games for Sporting for coming close more to the championship. I think that we will see goals from both sides and Sporting could win this with a 1-goal difference.

Benfica still won't have many players because of illness. So, Sporting have advantage because of this. 2.60 odds for Sporting win looks tempting. If Benfica will lose this game, I think they're out of title race.
In other game Porto without many important players will face Rio Ave.

The Sporting team has played 15 matches so far. And the funny thing is that no team has been able to beat Sporting CP till now. They have dominated the Primeira Liga. However, Porto and Benfica are 4 and 6 points behind from the Sporting CP respectively. However, Benfica and Porto have lost two matches this season.
The match between Sporting CP and Benfica is going to be held tomorrow. The goal of both teams will be to win. I would be happy if Benfica could win. Then this season will become more competitive

I doubt Benfica will win tonight.The only lost Sporting has in Portugal is in the cup and they are completely focused on the Primeira Liga this year.They are playing at home against a direct competitor and this gives them motivation because if they win this game then Benfica can be considered almost out of the title fight and Sporting will do whatever they can to win tonight.

Braga are going to play an away game against Moreirense tonight. Braga are the 4th with 30 points and Moreirense are the 8th with 18 points. Moreirense got 2 wins (2W 2D 1L) and Braga got 3 wins (3W 2L) in the last 5 games in the league. Moreirense lost only once (3W 4D 1L) in their home games. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Braga won 4 times and Moreirense won once. At Moreirense, Amador Pedro Miguel Santos, Derik Lacerda and Nuno Pedro (2 goals) are injured. At Braga, Francisco Moura (2 goals) is injured. Braga follow Benfica from 3 points behind. Benfica also have a hard away game against Sporting. I think Braga will make use of this chance and win their game.

how does Moreirense team look like this season? Are there any young wolves that can shine?

Benfica - Sporting

this will be a pressure game for the benfica side and for the sporting side things are easier. but this game will not decide the whole championship, there are still many games to go and benfica and porto still have many chances, knowing this portuguese league i am not convinced that if sporting wins it will already be champion

Sporting - Benfica wasn't most exciting game, but what ending of it there was. There wasn't many moments in the game, both teams didn't risked much because price of mistake was big. But on 92 minute Sporting managed to score goal and take a win.
Very important win for Sporting. Now Benfica are 9 points behind them and they're probably out of title race.

Sporting showed their class, will and determination to win the tie right at the end of the game; and this will do their confidence so many good. Porto 4 nil win at home now takes them to just 4 point off Sporting. Can Porto remain consistent and win the league title ?

Benfica is officially out of the title fight for me.The funny thing is although Sporting was leading the Championship still their odds from different bookmakers were 3.10 compared to 2.30 of Benfica and I don’t understand this.Even the goal difference was much better for Sporting with a much better defence stats.

I don’t think Porto has the power this year to outshine Sporting based on each team stats for this year but anything can happen.

It was definitely awesome to see Sporting managing to win with the goal they scored in the last minutes of the match. I also agree that the game generally was so boring. But this win could get Benfica out of the championship race as you said.

Yes, out of 16 matches Sporting haven't lost and that is a very good result, considering the title race is usually only two teams between Benfica and Porto. But this season looks like it will be the difference because Sporting are very consistent compared to the other teams below, even though the gap of 4 points with Porto who is currently ranked 2 I am sure Sporting will be able to maintain its position. That way, the title race this season will belong to Sporting and Porto, to be honest at first I wasn't sure Sporting would stay at the top but so far Sporting are still holding out even without defeat, so obviously Sporting will be strong candidates this season for the title.

Sporting are getting closer every week to the championship step by step. After defeating Benfica in a tough game, the most probable team that can catch them is Porto now. I also wonder what will happen in the next game between Porto and Sporting. We are right in the middle of the season and we will see what the time will show us.
