Primeira Liga (Portuguese League) 2021/22 Season

[jakdanyel]

I also think that Sporting shouldn't be considered as out of the title race yet. Because there is still a long road ahead of Porto and Sporting both. And a gap like six points can be closed easily in a short time. It would directly depend on some probable mistakes of Porto on the coming weeks. I don't think that Porto will win all of their remaining matches. And Sporting must already be aware of the seriousness of the situation. They wouldn't give up on the title so soon.

This season there are 13 games remaining and it is too early to say who will win the league between Porto or Sporting CP as both still have a good chance of winning it considering the difference is only 6 points.
Tonight's match between Porto against Sporting CP is of course very interesting and for Sporting CP stealing points at home to Porto is something that must be done to continue to maintain the hope of winning this season.
I think tonight's match will be quite even and I predict the score will be even, but I bet on goals under tonight because from the history of the match both teams have not scored many goals.

There is a really huge game tonight and this game is very important for the championship race now. Porto are going to have a home game against Sporting tonight. This is a big opportunity for both of these teams. Porto will aim to defeat Sporting and increase the interval more with them in the standings. And Sporting will want to win and make the interval three points. And I think that there will be no winner here. We will watch goals from both sides but I think that it will end in a draw.

Although Porto vs Sporting matches are not often exciting. Because no team wants to lose points. So they play somewhat defensively. And both teams want to share points. In the last 10 matches between these two teams, 6 matches have been drawn. Porto won 2 matches and Sporting won 2. However, Porto's performance is a bit better this season than Sporting's. Still I hope this match will be a draw.

Your guess is right. The match was drawn 2-2. But I would say it was a horrible match. We saw 5 red cards in this match. Both teams were very aggressive. Porto committed 18 fouls and Sporting 13 fouls. And referee showed to 3 of Sporting's, 2 of Porto's players' red cards. However, Porto is still 6 points ahead of the points table.

Porto played dominantly against Sporting yesterday but Sporting still played really smart and they were so close to defeating their opponent in this away game. They got 2-0 ahead in the first half but Porto decreased the goal difference to one before the end of the half which was crucial for them. And in the second half, Coates' being shown a red card made things really worse for Sporting. They needed to keep the advantage till the end but Porto finally scored the equalizer and it finished 2-2. It was not a very satisfying result for both of the teams I think.

[hahay]

Again, Porto did not just give up because of course Porto will maintain its unbeaten record so far. In fact, Sporting had played well at the beginning by winning 2-0 and Porto did not easily equalize. Even though Porto are playing at home and also, Porto are superior in statistical records but that doesn't make it easy to score an equaliser. Sporting who only played with 10 player after the break, but Sporting can still play discipline without giving the home team a win and of course that is a very good effort by Sporting. Great!

[diderdrogba]

Just as I expected, the Porto - Sporting game ended in a draw. However Sporting could have won this game for real. Because they got a 2-0 advantage and this really surprised me. I didn't think that Porto would let them get ahead even for once. But still, Porto got rid of the big shock and balanced the score later. But they should be thankful for one thing especially too that Sporting got a red card. This helped Porto more about reaching their goal. But Sporting still got a point which is good for them.

It was a very crucial match for both teams, with this result Porto are getting closer to the league title with their current 60 points (6 points difference from Sporting). Sporting still have a chance to catch up with their points from Porto, only 2 other big teams that might be a barrier to Porto, they are Braga and Benfica. FYI, Porto will face Sporting again in Portugal Cup semi-finals.

The match started very well for Porto who played with great intensity and created two scoring opportunities in the first few minutes, but Sporting had a good goalkeeper and with that they balanced the match and gave the counterattack.
I don't know if we can say who played better, the match had ups and downs for both teams, it was an intense game with several events.
Unfortunately, what was supposed to be an electrifying finale turned into something disappointing due to the confusion generated by the players after the final whistle.

With current league table and form no other team is going to challenge these big three and these are easily going for Champions League spots as well but giving title to Porto is still not good because we have 12 rounds remaining and gape is just 6 points between top 2 with Benfica is having 10 points gape from leader Porto which is good enough but Sporting can give some challenge if they go through with good form in remaining part of this season.

In today's match Benfica was much better than Santa Clara but in quality and form but still need some hard work for win Uruguay's Nunez late double give them win and three points. Nunez is new soccer star as many big clubs looking for him, hopefully in this summer he is going to have some good intention from European giants.

Wouldn't say that it was horrible match. Opposite, I would say that it was great derby. Fight, drama, something that I wanted to see. It's difficult to expect to see nice football in such games.
Game ended 2:2, but Porto  should be happy about result. They made comeback from losing 2:0 and didn't let Sporting to get closer in the table.
And you have to see what happened after game. 3 of 4 red cards were shown after final whistle and everything were close to turn into MMA fight without rules:

How surprising, one of red cards was given to Pepe . And managers of both teams also was there - seems tht they're hot guys, especially Porto coach.

Anyway, I can't imagine that Porto will not win the championship. This is another season where they are dominating the league so hard and coming back from a 2 - 0 shows that they aren't even going to lose games where it is looking really bad for them already. Not only would they have to lose a couple of games, but the others would pretty much have to win every single game in order to advantage of the slightest weakness Porto is unlikely to show.

Porto is the league's most consistent team this season. If there is no bad rhythm then there is no chance of snatching the title from them. They have dominated and won almost every match. Their style of play is excellent. Although Sporting is only 6 points behind. However, it is not certain whether Porto will lose 6 points. Porto has played 22 matches and drawn only 3 matches.

[jakdanyel]

Benfica must be really frustrated about being way behind Porto and Sporting in the standings now. They dominated the league for so many seasons but they haven't been able to do the same in the recent years. And it looks like one of the top 2 will reach the championship once more. Benfica need to fix their problems as soon as possible to be able to join this race. They won't be able to do so in this season maybe but they can do much better in the next season. They are a strong team but made simple mistakes so far.

as I predicted porto will be champions, at the beginning of the season I said that the moment they lost games against port and sporting they wouldn't be able to fight to be champions and knowing the portuguese league where porto has a great dominance was already easy to predict this outcome, I hope that in the future in portugal we can see more other teams win the portuguese league (I'm talking about teams that are not sporting, porto and benfica

Actually, the battle for the champion is not over yet, because they are only six points apart, Sporting CP still have hope, it is proven that even though last night they traveled to Porto headquarters but they were able to provide fierce resistance, even though S, Coates in Ganjar was red carded at minute 49, but they were still able to defend well, at the last minute of the match the referee had to issue 4 red cards because the match was getting hotter, maybe all players would be processed and who would definitely get sanctions from FIFA..

Porto played well this season and they deserve to be the winners. They have a quite comfortable lead in their hand, 6 points to be exact.
Sporting has 54 and I think it will be really hard for them to catch up with Porto at this stage. But the competition is still well all throughout the table of this League.

Benfica today simply choked against Boavista. They had 2:0 lead against Boavista, but didn't managed to win and let Boavista to score 2 goals in 2nd half. And it's not bad luck or something, Boavist had very solid game and even had significantly more goal attempts than Benfica.
In this round Porto and Sporting have chance to get double digit leag against Benfica. Now it's difficult to see Benfica back in title race.

That is an extremely disappointing result from Benfica. And to think that they will also play Champions League next week, they have to play against Ajax, then it is a very bad rehearsal. The Benfica of the past What a 2-0 lead would never give this away again and would simply convert this to win we would think it would be 4-0 or 5-0 rather than 2-2. If they also play football against Ajax like this, they can forget about it.
