Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2024/25

[...] Gyökeres is absolutely on fire! 7 goals in 4 matches is just very impressive stats. I can't believe how Arsenal gave up on this signing.    A real striker was what they needed and they missed a pure scorer like him. [...]

There is still a possibility that we will see Viktor Gyökeres at Arsenal in the future, Arsenal's path is also getting more difficult because Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also want this Swedish player. Brighton is the unlucky team here, Gyökeres originally belonged to Brighton, but they were unable to see the great potential that existed in Gyokeres.

Now Gyökeres is enjoying his journey at Sporting, if he & his team are able to maintain their condition, Sporting will win their league title again this season.

Woah! Sporting has made a magnificent start to the season.    4 wins in 4 matches, 16 goals scored and only 2 conceded... It must be like a dream for the fans from which they would never like to wake up.

Gyökeres is absolutely on fire! 7 goals in 4 matches is just very impressive stats. I can't believe how Arsenal gave up on this signing.    A real striker was what they needed and they missed a pure scorer like him.

Who knows how much he will increase his value this season. Maybe Sporting won't let him go less than 100m euros. It is early stages in the season maybe but I believe Sporting have the biggest chance for the trophy with this effort.

Unexpectedly, Sporting started the season smoothly in the first 4 games, successfully achieving full points, scoring 16 goals, which is not an easy thing for a team without good cooperation.
Gyokeres is a goalscoring machine who they discovered can set deadly statistics. It's a shame that Arsenal lost a classy striker like him.
Of course, after this season, Gyokeres will have a higher value, especially if he can lead the current club to win the championship trophy.

I rarely follow up with the happenings in the Portuguese league but what caught my attention earlier this week was when I saw a list of players contending for the European golden boot in the current campaign only for me to see that alongside Erling Haaland of Manchester City, there's another player who's already netted 7 league goals. Viktor Gyökeres is just a class on his own and to think that Arsenal was linked with him but ended up not signing him is just crazy considering the club's need for a sharp and prolific striker like Swedish striker. I hope he continues with his current scoring ratio so he lands himself big transfer deals in the transfer windows to come

Sometimes not betting is a good choice, as I would have lost the bet because of Benfica  

I only put Benfica in my multibet bet if they are playing at home against an opponent that hasn't won in the last 4 games and that has difficulty scoring goals and if the odds are @1.16 and I see that I don't have any other good games to add to my multibet bet

The situation is really bad
I'll have to be careful with my bets on benfica for a few rounds, otherwise I could lose some bets easily, even that ones like you said 1.15 odds, something like that

I don't think this situation will last for long, after all Benfica has players, tradition and should soon settle down
but if they stay in this unstable situation for five or six games, it could already undermine the possibility of a title


EDIT I only just realized that I hadn't given merit to your thread, I'm sorry joker
Your charts alone are worth the merit

He will, last season he managed to become the top scorer with a collection of 29 goals, and currently he has got almost 25% of his collection last season from just 4 matches. In the national team he can also talk a lot, last night Sweden faced Azerbaijan & Sweden won with a score of Azerbaijan 1 - 3 Sweden, of the three goals that Sweden had, there was Viktor's contribution there, he managed to make 2 assists & 1 goal. I'm sure in the next transfer window he will have a new club.

Sporting started the season with 4 matches which were overall wins so they won 12 points in full, indeed for the Portuguese League always makes Sporting one of the top team that are able to become favorite team from each season.
In the future for the 5th match we will watch Sporting play against Arouca away and it is hoped that Sporting will still be able to win in this match because after all looking at the performance statistics of each team it is clear that Sporting is much stronger.
Last season Arouca managed to finish the League by occupying 7th position, but at the beginning of this season Arouca was only able to save 1 win and they played much worse than last season.

Sporting is one of the big teams in the league, so it's not surprising to see them even at the top of the standings. But what surprised me, they were able to start the season brilliantly. Look at their match results, 3 goals with Rio Ave, 6 goals with Nacional, 5 goals with Farense and 2 goals with Porto. When I saw these results, I was reminded of Manchester City and how they can get big goals, if Sporting maintain this form, they will be champions this season.

Of course because for the Portuguese League itself only Sporting, Benfica and Porto always dominate, for the title acquisition also these three team have the most titles although the top is still held by Benfica with 38 times then Porto 30 times and followed by Sporting with 20 championship titles.
Last season Sporting won the title and this season they started the competition very well, it is likely that we will still be able to see Sporting to defend the title if Benfica and Porto return to performing like last season which showed several failures to achieve more wins.
Sporting preparation for this new season is also quite good and they have been able to compete more competently, we'll just see what Sporting can show in the future, I think they are the favorites for this season.

and I can't understand why they're bringing back someone who was already at Benfica and who in recent years has not had any success in other teams. They could have hired the old Porto coach, I'm talking about Sergio Conceição. It seems to me that Benfica's biggest problem is in the management. There are sports commentators who recognize that the president of Benfica, Rui Costa, is someone who has a lot of love for Benfica and who has good intentions, but who is making some mistakes. And these hiring of coaches in the last 2 years are one of those mistakes in my opinion.

Bruno Lage is already officially the new Benfica coach. This choice is a conservative choice, considering that Bruno Lage, is the coach who best knows the club and all its structure, way to work and all that. Personally, I wouldn't choose Bruno Lage, but do you tossing at the current situation, I see very few coaches available to get Benfica training.

Regarding the Sergio Conception, I first have some doubts he wanted to train Benfica. Second, Rui Costa signing Sergio, would cause a lot of complications with fans and many elements of the club structure.

Sporting Lisbon is not a small team as far as the Liga Portugal is concerned. They are among the top team that have produced some of the finest players we know so I don't see how their performance this season is unexpected.  They are in my chart as a club I play both as direct win against a weaker side and based on goals, over 2.5 and over 3.5 and they always deliver. Judging from present form, I have more confidence in them than even FC Porto and Benfica.
