Today during Belenenses - Porto game something really bad happened. Porto player Nanu collided with goalkeeper and was knocked out:

He suffered very strong hit, it looked really bad. He was carried out on a stretcher unconscious. Let's hope that he is ok.
Game ended 0:0, but it's not important thing now.

Sporting are going to play an away game against Maritimo tonight. Sporting are maintaining their leadership with 42 points and Maritimo are the 10th with 17 points. Sporting didn't get any loss (4W 1D) and Maritimo won only once (1W 1D 3L) in the last 5 games in the league. Maritimo won only two of their home games (2W 2D 3L). Sporting are the best in away games (7W 1D). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Sporting won 2 times, Maritimo won only once and the rest of them ended in a draw.

Porto lost points in their game against Belenenses yesterday (0-0). This is a good opportunity for Sporting to get away more from them. I think Sporting will be the winner here.

Sporting lisbon would be winning tonight away at Maritimo; i say this because the Sporting players and coach are aware that Porto dropped 2 points last night; and there is supposed to be renewed determination to get away with 3 points and goals at mid table side Maritimo. While also having it in mind that a win will take Sportinc CP 6 points clear at the top of the league

Porto's point loss yesterday might cost them more than 2 points. If Sporting win tonight against Maritimo they make point difference 3 to 6 and that means more than 2 games difference. They should use this advantage.
I don't expect Sporting to make any mistakes tonight. That's a really good opportunity for them. Maritimo have 3 loss streak while Sporting have 4 win streak. On form Pedro Goncalves can score again tonight. I'm waiting a good game and 3 points for Sporting.

I was afraid of the possibility that Sporting could lose points unexpectedly too. But thankfully, it didn't happen and Sporting destroyed their opponent 2-0. Now, they are a little closer to the championship. The point difference has gone up to 6 with Porto.

There is few games in Primeira Liga today and now Benfica have no problems against Famalicao, they leading 2:0 at 60 minute.
Meanwhile, Porto dropped 2 important points against Braga yesterday. They were leading 2:0 until 87 minute, but then Braga made amazing comeback and made score 2:2 in the end. Very hot end of the game.

Porto lost points two times in a row. But it was a really dramatic game I think. Porto were so relieved when they get the 2-0 advantage. But everything changed after J. Corona got his second yellow card. Braga took the control of the game and they managed to get 1 point. The minutes of the goals were 87 and 90+4 which was a shock for Porto. Now, Sporting will increase the point difference to 8 if they beat Gil Vicente away tomorrow night.

I am now enjoying the match between Rio Ave and Tondela. A very boring match. Half the time is up. Tondela scored the only goal of the match. They are leading 1-0. In the last 45 minutes of the match, the players of Rio Ave have not been able to attack yet. Such a boring match!

Sporting are going to play an away game against Gil Vicente tonight. Gil Vicente are the 14th with 16 points and Sporting are the leader with 45 points. Sporting didn't get any loss (4W 1D) and Gil Vicente won only once (1W 4L) in the last 5 games in the league. Sporting continue on their way with no loss in their away games (8W 1D). Gil Vicente won only 2 of their 8 home games (2W 2D 4L). In their last 5 head-to-head games, Sporting won 4 times and Gil Vicente won once.

Porto lost 2 points against Braga 2 days ago (2-2). This is another chance for Sporting to increase the point difference between them and make it 8. If they don't overcome by languor, this will be an easy win for Sporting here.

FC Porto - Boavista

Second place porto who are 8 points behind league leaders Sporting will be wanting to reduce the point margin with a victory at home against relegation threatened Boavista. Porto 3 - 0 Boavista.

Porto and Sporting both will play a very easy game I think. Porto have been losing points for 2 weeks and Sporting made an incredible comeback in their last game against Gil Vicente. Porto need to do much better than this if they want to take the lead. Boavista are at the last place and I don't expect anything from them in this match. Porto will win it too easily.

[Slow death]

Boavista 2 - 2 FC Porto

Boavista played very well, they scored the first goal and had two more great chances to score more goals, but finally Boavista managed to score the second goal. what I am surprised Is that Boavista was playing much better than Porto and was winning with a good advantage, but even with this good performance of Boavista... Porto managed to score 2 goals and draw the game. Is something that seems a little strange to me. is also the expected of the Portuguese league. always have an invisible hand to make the porto win


Today:

Benfica - Moreirense

benfica cannot lose, but also after the interviews benfica coach, it's clear that you can't ask for much from benfica in the next 5 games

Porto once again fails to close the gap between them and first place Sporting as they dropped 2 points away at Boavista. Benfica meanwhile have a chance to close the gap between them and second place Porto with a win at home against Moreirense. A comfortable 3 nil win for Benfica is my prediction

Porto got a draw again and this is the 3rd time in a row that they lost points. If Sporting win their match against Ferreira tomorrow night, the point difference will be 10. We are still in the middle of the season but this will be a very good advantage for Sporting absolutely.

[ingiltere]

Braga odds are really good, I think they will beat Santa Clara. They played with Porto 2 times and draw both games. I believe Carvalhal can get 3 points in this though away game, I know his management skills are good, back in Turkish league days. Braga have a 4 games unbeaten streak. Today that won't change.

Benfica is heavy favorite against Moreirense and odds are also reflecting that. I wouldn't bet on them for such low odds. Moreirense also won their last 2 games. Is it possible to see any surprise here? Maybe, but I prefer to stay away for this game.

This weekend is really great for Sporting. Yesterday Porto dropped 2 points against Boavista and now Benfica did same thing - they played 1:1 with Moreirense. Now they dropped to 4th place because Braga won their game against Santa Clara.
Tomorrow Sporting will have chance to increase their lead against Porto up to 10 points. They will play against Pacos de Ferreira. Though, it shouldn't be easy - Pacos are doing very well recently, won 4 their recent games.

Braga have been the most profitable team in terms of the results of this week so far. They are at the 3rd place and only 1 point behind Porto now. As you said, Ferreira aren't an easy opponent for Sporting in this match. Ferreira are at the fifth place having 35 points and they are only 3 points behind Benfica. They won 6 of their last 7 matches and didn't lose any match. They defeated Braga 2-0 also. Sporting should be prepared well for this match. Otherwise, I think Ferreira can get at least one point.

Sporting CP ? - ? Pacos de Ferreira After second placed team Porto dropped 2 points in the league over the weekend; Sporting can go 10 points clear at the top of the league at game week 19 in what has been a very fascinating and interesting season so far. Sporting play 5th team Pacos and i think it would end in a 1-1 draw. What do you think ?

Sporting has the luxury to not fully concentrate on this game although they are going to win and seal the Championship as this means going far and not easy to be catched by the opponents.However that 1.45 odd for Sporting when playing at home where they are really strong make me not bet on this game.

It is 1.45 because their opponent Ferreira have been really strong for 7 weeks in the league. If Sporting underestimate them, they could get a surprising result. Even if Sporting draw with Ferreira tonight, they will still be in a good condition in the table.
