Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2024/25

[Pandorak]

[...] 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.

[Rampagoe004]

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.

[joker_josue]

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.

Yes, I know that too, even if we include second place, those three teams also have a lot of achievements in that position. Benfica has been runner-up 30 times, Porto 29 times and Sporting CP 22 times. Recent seasons have been a moment of revival for Sporting, whatever achievements Sporting will get this season depends on how Gyokeres performs, he's one of the best strikers in Europe now. Arouca is Sporting's next opponent, this team is weak because they only have 1 win in the 4 matches they have played, Sporting can definitely get another 3 points to complete their 5 consecutive wins.

Arouca is Sporting's next opponent, this team is weak because they only have 1 win in the 4 matches they have played, Sporting can definitely get another 3 points to complete their 5 consecutive wins.

Did you notice that all clubs that have won Arouca this season started to win the club at first half which is my favorite pick. I check the match on Stake but I have not seen it yet. I check another site and it was 1.25. Stake odd would be similar. I think I will go for first half win for Sporting CP but which is an away match. The match can not be as tough as Sporting CP versus FC Porto while I am expecting Sporting CP to start winning at first half. I will bet on the match anytime I see it on Stake.

Edit:
I think it is also going to be a won match for FC Porto.

[Slow death]

tomorrow's game:

FC Arouca - Sporting CP

Sporting will go to the Municipal Stadium of Arouca to play against Arouca, who have only won 1 of their 4 games. Sporting is having an excellent campaign, having not lost yet, 4 games and 4 wins. The most incredible thing is that Sporting has scored 16 goals in just 4 games. Sporting's attack is very strong. From what I heard, Sporting's only injured players are: Jerry St. Juste (thigh), Diogo Pinto (ankle) and Vladan Kovacevic (ankle). Arouca has the following injured players: Kouassi Eboue (muscle complaints), Quaresma Correia (muscle complaints), Nino Galovic (knee) and Jose Fontan (hamstring).


Arouca possible starting lineup:
Mantl; Esgaio, Rocha, Lamba, Weverson; Simao, Fukui; Sylla, Gozalbez, Jason; Araujo

Sporting Lisbon possible starting lineup:
Franco; Quaresma, Diomande, Inacio; Quenda, Morita, Hjulmand, Catamo; Trincao, Goncalves; Gyokeres

My Guess: sporting will win easily

Sporting president Varandas on Viktor Gyökeres: “To be honest, I've seen inferior players being transferred above €100m, big players below €100m”.

“Viktor is happy here. During the market, there was not a day without news saying that Viktor was leaving!”, told Record.

I hope Sporting doesn't sell Viktor Gyökeres so soon, Sporting needs to be able to go far in European competitions

Yes, Sporting have really started the season with a bang. And as for Arsenal, they may wish to have taken interest in him more seriously. If he continues to play this way his value upon transfer will balloon for sure, and of course, Sporting probably will not let him go cheap.

And, of course, if Gyökeres continues in this vein -then his asking price might reach eye-watering levels, which is very plausible in today's transfer market whereby player valuations can skyrocket very quickly. They might see him as a long-term asset if he helps them win some trophies.

It is, of course, very early in the season, but momentum at this stage would be welcome for confidence within the team and from players. Fans will want to believe that this is not just a good start but the sign of a great season to unravel later. If Sporting can keep up this kind of performance, they will win not only domestic silverware but have a surprise package for Europe as well. Naturally, retaining Gyökeres is vital to all those ambitions.

Sporting CP is leading by a lone goal at half time. It does not come to me as a surprise because Sporting  is in pretty great shape and should easily win Arouca irrespective of them being at away. This weekend I expected all big sides such as Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting to win their matches. This season will see the toughest competition in the Liga Portugal. But I'm tipping Sporting CP to win the title but that I will not commit any serious money to.

Sporting will definitely win the match. Ball possession was 65 to 35. Shorts on goal was 7 to 2. In 62 minutes, Viktor Gyökeres scored and in 80 minutes Francisco Trincao scored with Daniel Braganca assist. It is now 3 goals. It is 90 minutes with 6 minutes extra time now. I think the extra time is going to 10 minutes. Sporting played 5 matches with neither draw nor loss.

I think Sporting will really still perform like last season, they will be able to play very well and really maintain their performance more consistently in finishing the competition this season and trying to defend the championship title.
Sporting managed to win today against Arouca with big score of 3 goal without reply and in this match Sporting game was really extraordinary in dominating the game and also many opportunities in the attack efforts they made to attack Arouca defense until it looked very messy.
At the beginning of this season Sporting game was very good and they always had a percentage of more than 70% in the chance of winning, there have been 5 matches with total of wins and now Sporting is leading the standings with 15 points, hopefully this will be good start for them.
Gyokeres also played very well, but unfortunately we only saw him create goals with the penalties they got, I agree that Gyokeres is great striker and in 5 matches Sporting also showed that he gave 8 goal with 1 assist.

They actually won the match and also played over 2.5 which is one of the best option I love playing because it has higher odds. Just unfortunate that I lost the parlay because Al Nassr failed to play over 2.5 which is the option I chose for all the bets comprising of five matches which all played except one. For the past few matches Cristiano Ronaldo have been scoring few matches so I was expecting he would play and score but I was wrong and that was how I lost the bet.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Marvelous performance by Sporting until now! 5 wins in 5 games. 19 goals scored and only 2 conceded. These are indeed spectacular stats pointing to a big victory at the end of the season. But the question is: Will they stay this consistent all the time? 

It is difficult to be sure of the answer for it. But I think it is no. Because it isn't a very common thing to be seen in European leagues you know. We have seen Leverkusen example lately but not many more of it in these years.

The biggest reason behind my thinking about Sporting is that they have a very busy schedule after the new format of the Champions League.

Benfica's new Turkish transfer Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a goal in his first match.
Thanks to the cooperation of the two Turks, Benfica took a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute of the match.
Orkun Kökçü made the assist and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored the goal.
I hope these two players will continue to score goals and assists.

Benfica did not take the lead with this goal. Benfica equalized 1-1 with this goal. Santa Clara had taken the lead in the first minute through Vinicius Lopes... Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a really elegant goal. He was not in an easy and clear position, but he made a great one-touch and equalized the match. He stayed on the pitch for 73 minutes and when he was substituted he received the applause of the Benfica fans. Galatasaray fans had always criticized him mercilessly. I think Benfica fans will give him the respect he deserves...

[Webetcoins]

Sporting widening the gape at the top with having 5 wins from their 5 games no other team is having perfect start of their campaign Porto after losing last game now having challenging time as they are hosting SC Farense after 70 minutes game we are having 1–1 which is surely not good as we have quality difference between these two sides.

Now we have few minutes left in the game while after this we have Braga vs Vitoria Guimaraes another interesting game which can bring Braga to the second spot in case of win but now can Porto score another goal its interesting situation for them with Benfica is also improving and having good win with this now they are at the fourth spot in league table their new signings are doing good work for them with new coach bring good result.
