Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2023/24

[Jossque]

Sporting Braga defeated the opponent 3-1 in the last match of the year and managed to close the year with a win.With this win, he was in 4th place with 32 points.The goals came in the second half.Braga had a little bit of difficulty in this away match, but he managed to win the match with his finishing players.
Sporting Lisbon, on the other hand, won 2-1 away from home and managed to finish the year as the leader with 3 points.Although Sporting Lisbon had a heavy advantage over their opponent in this match, we could have seen a different result, but their luck was not with them.

And with the two games yesterday:

Braga 3 x 1 Casa Pia
Portimonense 1 x 2 Sporting

I managed to win my multiple bet and will end the year with a winning bet and a profit hehe, very good for my bankroll to start well in 2024 
Not many surprises or difficulties for both teams

But there's a new round in five days, with a possibly difficult game for Braga
The other top three should win, but I'll think about my bet

Braga yesterday and before yesterday have been a good team, though they've incurred some losses but they earned 3points fairly yesterday. They were a better side and they were also the hosts too. Their game play worked well in their favor. Sadly they weren't able to keep a clean sheet but they surely were able to maintain the lead till the last minute. It shows how tough and  strong they're in their league.

 For Sporting, they also had their share of 3 points, still no clean sheets but a big away from home win. The results gave these two teams a push on the table and still keeps them in the right spot on their league race. Subsequent games won't really be easy, so the confidence this game result ensued should be used at their disposal. There's definitely still a change and improvement to be effected by these teams.

Massive wins for all the bg teams here, we can see that Sporting almost fell to a draw but were saved by a last minute win which serves as a boost to their lead in the league,they really showed they're a big club, by maintaining consistency and their position in the league. Now we have Braga who’ve now had a convincing win and also Porto who’s still not scoring more than a goal yet, all the mentioned clubs are top clubs in the Portuguese league and the potential winners of the league title this season.

 Well we head into the new year; let’s see what this calendar year holds for us but for now I think Sporting are already winners of this league and it’ll take more than a miracle to overthrow them. All other clubs need to fight to get an European spot next season, cause playing in the UCL or Europa League is also an achievement if they fail to win the league title.

[Slow death]

In this journey that starts this Friday, Sporting will have a very complicated game, they will play against Estoril who in the last games had only one defeat. Estoril didn't do well when they played against the big teams in the Portuguese league, they lost in the game against Braga, in a game in which they conceded 3 goals and managed to score 1 goal, before they played against Braga, they had played against Benfica and they lost, in a game in which they failed to score a goal, but conceded 1 goal. so when I look at their performance against big teams, I see that they have weaknesses, but looking at what they are achieving in these last games, then I don't rule out the possibility that they can get a draw, that's because Sporting, despite being the team that They are currently at the top of the table, they conceded a goal in the last few games despite winning, that's why I see a chance of a draw in that game

while Sporting will have a complicated game, Porto will have a much easier game against Boavista who in the last 5 games have not managed to at least get a victory, Boavista is going through a moment of crisis, in the last games Boavista is on a streak of 5 consecutive games without winning, while Porto, as always, is on the list of teams at the top of the table and fighting for the title, I highly doubt that they will waste this good opportunity to win and get the 3 points, mainly because they know that Sporting and Benfica will have complicated games that could lose points;

And speaking of Benfica, they will have a complicated game against Arouca, who in the last 5 games had only 1 defeat and come to this game with a sequence of 4 consecutive games without losing, Arouca didn't do well when playing against the big teams. , they lost in the game against Sporting, in a game in which they conceded 2 goals and scored 1 goal, then lost again in the game against Braga in a game in which they failed to score 1 goal and conceded 1 goal, while Benfica comes After a sequence of 5 games without losing, they are in second place, so they will do their best to come out of this game with victory, in my opinion Benfica will win this game

In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the EPL too.

 The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are making good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games. But since gambling is not 100% sure it would be advisable to beat of only the Portuguese teams that's got good record recenty

The breaks are shortened because these clubs have potentials of reaching important stages which we will not even expects. There are golden opportunities available in all these tournaments played, just be on the winning team. The UEFA Champions League is a league were we watch these elite teams in different leagues divisons comes out to showcased their strength. Portuguese clubs have to belt up if they keep in mind to win the UCL title because that would become big significance for their league and also their players. Portuguese league is just comparable to other European leagues because they're Europe teams.

Look at the top four teams of the Portuguese league, they are a team that can compete with most teams in Europe. I especially like Benfica in recent years. Even though they are in second place in the league this year, there is only a 1 point difference between them and the leader. I can say that as good as the top tier teams are in Portugal, the middle tier teams are almost unheard of. The league is enjoyable because there is competition between four teams. The Portuguese also constitute an important player market in Europe.

If we look closely, it's not that much less competitive than other European championships. Apart from England, which always has 5 or 6 candidates for the title, the winners in the other countries are almost always the same.

In Germany, Bayer has won for almost 10 years in a row - zero competition.
In Spain, only two teams win championships, Real and Barceloa - Atletico Matrid tries their luck there but fails.
In France, it's just PSG, and every now and then, another club appears there.
In Italy things are now a little more divided, perhaps there is greater competition at the moment, but about 5 years ago it was only Juventus.

Therefore, Portugal is not that different than other European championships.

The top four teams in this league have an impact in the league's projection as their level of performance have helped them stand a chance with other teams in the European contest. This is actually the biggest competition in the continent and not all teams stand a chance to compete, only the top performing teams.

 Benfica, Sporting and Porto are teams under the Portuguese umbrella that have over the years been able to prove themselves worthy to still always compete in the European contests. The whole scenario isn't about to change yet though as currently they're still standing top in the league and have made good impacts already in this season UCL and UEL too. And I believe the winner of this season's tournament would be any of those three mentioned.

Sounds like a lot of money to be made if we place a parlay with the top 4 teams of the Liga Portugal,if we want to be sure we can go with the top 3 including Benfica,Porto and Sporting leaving aside Boavista as it is not a team to be trusted,it has shown this to many times playing both in Liga Portugal and European competitions,maybe that is their best they can do but I do not trust them.

I doubt Benfica is going to make another mistake like those two draws which gave Sporting the lead.I doubt now even Sporting or Porto will be making mistakes,so overall in my opinion the Liga Portugal is a golden mine for betting here if we stick to the top three teams.

The game that should be most interesting will be Braga vs Vit. Guimaraes. In addition to being two very rival clubs - very much so, both teams are playing very well. So it should be a really interesting game to watch.

Sporting CP Vs Estoril
Starting this year, today Sporting CP against face Estoril in the Portugal Primeira Liga. Estoril are in great form and have been scoring a lot of goals recently. Sporting CP will rely on their top form and confidence to secure victory. Home ground advantage could be in store for Sporting CP to get the three points and maintain their lead at the top of the table. The match looks set to be a fight with both teams in good form. I think Sporting CP will win 2-1.


Boavista FC Vs FC Porto
Boavista FC will need to put in a strong defensive performance to have any chance of getting a result against FC Porto, especially with them missing at the back. FC Porto's recent form and history at the Estadio do Bessa make them clear favorites for this match.
I think the match will go to Porto. My prediction is Porto to beat Boavista 3-1.

I think the match will go to Porto. My prediction is Porto to beat Boavista 3-1.

If you look at the Head 2 Head records, Sporting CP is definitely at the top and will be the favorite in this match, especially since Sporting CP is in much better performance when compared to Estoril. So I am quite confident that Sporting CP can beat Estoril even though with a thin score because Sporting CP doesn't want to lose its place in first place and wants to try to widen the gap with Porto and Benfica because the competition in the top 3 clubs is still very fierce until now because this match takes place at home so I think Sporting CP will be very profitable.

In the Boavista vs Porto match, I think Porto will also win because Boavista has been in bad condition in the last few matches Boavista has not won. Meanwhile, this match is quite tough for Boavista if they win even though they are playing at home. I'm not sure they can beat Porto with their condition at the moment.

I started betting on the Portuguese league for exactly that reason. The top 3 teams in Portugal are much stronger than the rest and you could even include Braga and make it a TOP 4

My strategy is to place multiple bets whenever possible
When there are classics or a match between the top 4 and a team that is doing very well in 5th or 6th I avoid it, but most of the time they win
Last year I started a little before the middle of the championship
This year I started along with the championship and lost some bets because there were some surprising results

[QueenVera]

For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the EPL too. Sporting were able to win their game confidently yesterday as well as Porto which signifies an improvement to their performances in the league.

 Although a lesser performance wasn't expected from them though but they're definitely a stable team in the league. The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are making good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

Well you were right about Estoril scoring a goal but Sporting destroyed them by 5 goals before that goal!
Sporting made a lot of opportunities at the opposite of the other teams. They are doing very well in Liga Portugal but their weakest point remains the goals that their defence line keep letting enter!

Boavista FC Vs FC Porto
Boavista FC will need to put in a strong defensive performance to have any chance of getting a result against FC Porto, especially with them missing at the back. FC Porto's recent form and history at the Estadio do Bessa make them clear favorites for this match.
I think the match will go to Porto. My prediction is Porto to beat Boavista 3-1.

I expect FC Porto victory too, I don't know if Boavista will be able to score or not. Until now, 20 minutes after the starting of the match, they didn't reach the goalkeeper.
FC Porto as well, tends to not receive many goals..

[ingiltere]

Sporting CP's win was expected, they did it with 5 goals. They play different this season, just like how champions play. There are still 18 games but so far they are the best team in Portugal and if they keep that form they should be the champion.
Gyökeres didn't score this time but made 4 assists. He's an incredible player. I wonder how Sporting keep him, transfer market will be hard for them. I expect major clubs to sign him soon. I've already heard Chelsea is interested since Osimhen stays in Napoli. I believe he would fit better than Osimhen in Chelsea.

Boavista FC Vs FC Porto
Boavista FC will need to put in a strong defensive performance to have any chance of getting a result against FC Porto, especially with them missing at the back. FC Porto's recent form and history at the Estadio do Bessa make them clear favorites for this match.

I expect FC Porto victory too, I don't know if Boavista will be able to score or not. Until now, 20 minutes after the starting of the match, they didn't reach the goalkeeper.
FC Porto as well, tends to not receive many goals..

Porto failed to win, and ended up drawing 1-1 with Boavista. It seems that this time they didn't have that luck of scoring the winning goal in the 90+8 minute.

If Braga beat Guimarães tomorrow, they will have the same points as Porto. And Porto is already 5 points away from first, and with the disadvantage of direct confrontation with the two opponents in front of them.
