Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2025/26

[rdluffy]

Now I'll finally be able to follow the League. I ended up missing the first few rounds due to time constraints, but now I've managed to organize myself to follow it more closely
I don't like betting without analyzing the teams and watching the games constantly
I was only following Brazilian soccer so far
I missed watching the League games, hehehe

Although there have only been three rounds so far, I'm surprised by the number of goals scored by Sporting without Gyokeres
So far, no surprises with the top three

Benfica really needs to step up in their performance this season. The fact here is that they don't have a place in the Champions League or neither do they have a chance of becoming champions League winners. I think they should change their narrative this season and focus more on winning the league.
Fans don't really care how much money is made from each stage of the Champions League, what impressed the Fans most is titles, and they have failed to lift the most prestigious football title in Portugal for a seasons now.

Benfica is loaded with good attacking players in the league, so the coach now has one responsibility -- which is to improve their attacking force by pairing up those players, because we've seen them win against strong opponents.

[Slow death]

while Porto and Sporting will play each other. I'm praying that Porto can beat Sporting. I know it's a very difficult task. If it were last season, I would risk saying it was mission impossible, but this season Porto has shown great improvement in defense and attack. I won't be surprised by a draw, but as a Benfica fan, I pray that Porto beats Sporting.

So your choice should be a draw. Right now, it's the best possible result for Benfica, who haven't played any major teams yet and have a game in hand. If they draw, and Benfica secures victories until they settle the outstanding match, they'll take first place. Hopefully, Porto and Sporting will continue to win their matches against weaker teams.

I see it as a very high risk, because these two teams haven't drawn much when they play each other, at least that's what I'm seeing from the game history of the last few years involving both teams.

Last season, Sporting was in very good form, they were very strong, but they still couldn't beat Porto by many goals. In the first game, Sporting won by just one goal, and in the second game, it was a draw. Again, Sporting only scored one goal even though they were playing against a weak Porto. This season, it seems like Porto is better than last season, which could mean they might win. That's why I'm not betting on this game.

It's a very unpredictable game. I prefer to put the Benfica game in my parlay, which will have other games that I consider more predictable. I wonder what it will be like here on my street on the day of the Porto vs. Sporting game. The fans of both teams are very loud; they start making a lot of noise on my street during the game and at the end of the game.

In the last match Porto delivered 4:0 victory against Casa showcasing their commitment to the attacking style of play. However, beating Sporting will be the tough challenge for them. To play it safe, I would place BTTS bet on their upcoming clash. Speaking of recent matches involving top teams I was pleased with the outcomes as most of my bets paid off. The only loss I had was on Braga as they ended their last match in draw.

For safety reasons, I won't bet on this game. Both teams score or draw. I consider these two options risky. Maybe if I had options for under 4.5 goals and with good odds, I would think long and hard about whether to go for it. But I won't bet on these two options for BTTS and a draw. I prefer to bet on Benfica to win, but I'll put Benfica in my parlay.

After another weekend of championship matches, we saw that the big three teams won, with only Braga drawing their game. Here's the results list.

MATCH DAY 3 - RESULTS:
Moreirense 2-0 Vitória SC
CD Nacional 1-4 Sporting CP
Arouca 3-3 Rio Ave
SL Benfica 3-0 Tondela
Famalicão 0-0 Gil Vicente
Porto 4-0 Casa Pia
Braga 2-2 AVS
Amadora 2-2 Alverca

[Pumared]

Here is the list of games for this weekend, for the 3rd round:

MATCH DAY 3:
^{23.08 17:00} CD Nacional vs Sporting Clube de Portugal
^{23.08 19:30} FC Arouca vs Rio Ave FC
^{23.08 19:30} Sport Lisboa e Benfica vs CD Tondela
^{24.08 14:30} FC Famalicão vs Gil Vicente FC
^{24.08 17:00} FC Porto vs Casa Pia AC
^{24.08 19:30} Sporting Clube de Braga vs AVS

Sporting wins
Arouca or draw
Benfica wins
Famalicão or draw
Porto wins
Braga wins

These are very easy games with good odds, but since they're top teams against bottom teams, it's relatively easy to bet. But anything can happen at the start.

I only made a mistake in the Braga game; the rest of the time, I got everything right. And the most incredible thing is that Braga had five shots on goal and converted two of them. AVS had two shots on goal, and they scored on both. Impressive.

The problem is that they're focused on the Europa League playoffs. Like it or not, until that point is sealed, it's difficult to switch teams from one competition to the next.

Not to devalue AVS, which has been a tougher team to beat than expected lately. However, Braga had every chance of winning and could have done a little better.

Yes, I agree. But it was a great game, both in terms of goal count and statistically speaking. Even with the other team's thoughts elsewhere, they didn't let it slide and did what every team should do: push forward, regardless of the matchup. That's why I see AVS standing out more and more. There's a lot missing, but they're doing well.

Benfica is loaded with good attacking players in the league, so the coach now has one responsibility -- which is to improve their attacking force by pairing up those players, because we've seen them win against strong opponents.

They beat serious UCL opponent ^{Fenerbahçe to be exact} yesterday, and now they’ll likely be more focused on their domestic league campaign. Their upcoming matches against Porto in October and Sporting in December will be key in revealing their true potential to lift the trophy this season. I truly hope they do  as I’m somewhat biased toward Benfica.

BTW, my bankroll got the slight boost thanks to Benfica's last win.

[joker_josue]

Benfica just sealed its place in the Champions League with a good game of football.

Now it's back to the league. Matchday 4 features a big match: Sporting vs. Porto. Both teams have won everything, scoring many goals and conceding few. What will the match be like? Who will win? Or will it end in a draw?

It's really the tough call to predict the outcome of this clash. From my bettor's perspective, I think the most reasonable bet for this match could be BTTS . That said, I still have at least two days to go over all the facts and make  more informed decision. Personally, I’m slightly biased toward  Sporting win, though I’m not exactly sure why. It's probably due to their position in the table last season.

I think BTTS is the more likely match. It's difficult to predict who will win, as both teams have a high probability of winning. I'm confident it will be a good match, and I think it's the strongest bet right now. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first big match in the Portuguese league. It could even shape the future of the league.

As I said in my last post, Porto had a chance to win. I said this in the last post that Porto this season is better than Porto last season and it seems that Sporting is starting to decline. With this defeat, they will have more pressure in the following games.



Especially if Porto and Benfica aren't losing points. Sporting's attack in this game was great. I think Sporting's chances of becoming champions again this season are low. Maybe they'll go back to being the Sporting of the past, who couldn't win the league for years. I hope Benfica can win tomorrow's game. I've included them in my parlay. Today, Sporting fans here in my country are very quiet.

A bit unexpected result. It's not that Porto played significantly better, but scoring 2 goals in 3 minutes was shock for Sporting. If de Jong scored his most typical career goal, then William Gomes goal was just unbeleavable. Enjoy:

After both goals Sporting fans started throwing things to Porto players. It can't be justified, but I think that Porto players behaved stupid by provoking them.
Only bad thing for Porto in this game is that they conceded their first goal this season.

Worse than having conceded the goal, was the goal being scored by them, with an own goal.

Sporting had already shown that against the big ones they would have difficulties and it really happened.

Even so, I don't know if I'm convinced by Porto's capacity.

Now Benfica has to keep winning to stay at the top. Despite not having much confidence from the current coach..

[ajanwalker]

Porto nearly started the match 0-1 up, but it wasn't to be. A stunning overhead kick hit the post in the 15th second.

I think Porto was the better side. They finished the match with a 1-2 victory.

Sporting could have made it 1-0 in the 20th minute, but they couldn't capitalize on the counter-attacks. Porto's goalkeeper deserves special mention. He put in a truly excellent performance. If he keeps this up, he'll be on the transfer lists of other major European clubs within a year or two.

Porto signed Farioli as their manager. He's a good manager, but he can lose his focus in the final stages of the league. This was also the case at Ajax last year.

Porto stun Sporting CP on Saturday as they took top spot in league table after securing their fourth win at Lisbon while all three goals scored by Porto players thanks to own goal form Argentinian defender Perez who score consolation own goal for Sporting.

Match started at high tempo fans watch 4 yellow cards in first half with things were not easy to score goals despite having good attacking soccer from both teams but in second half de Jong and Williams Gomes score two quick goals which handed Porto big win. Today, Benfica is going to visit Alverca which will give them third win and Braga will be entertained Rio Ave for chance of jumping at second spot in league table.

Porto actually came out strong out of that match, I also do agree that they look like the most preferably team overall all and there were on a better side. Those saved by the goalkeeper was actually awesome, those saves kept them in the match,most especially during the counter attacks, such great performances don't go unnoticed, that gave actually made my day, like E sweet me.
And you are actually right there if he stays consistent bigger clubs will come looking for him definitely.

Porto winning Sporting Lisbon shows that they are ready for the title this season unlike last two seasons that they could only finish in the third position. The first half of Porto versus Sporting Lisbon match was so tensed and both teams couldn't score but as they entered the second half i was marveled at how Porto could score within 4 minutes apart which was in the 61st and 64th minutes respectively, and if not for the own goal they conceded, Sporting Lisbon wouldn't have scored any goal. Porto last won the Liga Portugal in 2021-2022 season, since they have won their first 4 games, the title might belong to them this season. One thing i like about Porto is their defense, imagine playing 4 games and only conceded one goal it shows that they have a very solid defense.

Today, Benfica is going to visit Alverca which will give them third win and Braga will be entertained Rio Ave for chance of jumping at second spot in league table.

Benfica almost ruined their match against Alverca but what saved them was that they have already scored 2 goals before Amar Dedic was sent off as a result of red card otherwise Alverca almost equalized the score but they could only manage to score one goal. Benfica has only played 3 matches and got 9 points, if they win their outstanding match then they will equal points with Porto but what will separate them will be goal difference since Porto have scored more goals than Benfica.

This really started to make me question if the old Porto is really back. 

They have been in a downfall after becoming league champions in the 21/22 season the last time. One time 2nd and two times 3rd placements after that...

However they've started with wins in all 4 matches in this season. Beating the last 2 league champion Sporting away was also very impressive!

A good way to start the season for Porto I was not expecting Porto to win this weekend because of the type of opposition that they were facing talking about the current league champions sporting Lisbon, I followed this game closing and the first half of the game ended 0:0 and going by the statistics from the first half I was not expecting goals from this game until the goals started pouring towards the ending of the game congratulations to Porto they should maintain this form going forward.
