Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2025/26

[rdluffy]

...
1 - Benfica
2 - Porto
3 - Sporting

I don't think there's any way to think differently than these three teams. It's the most predictable scenario. Another team could emerge and at least make it into the top three, but it's highly unlikely that it will actually happen.

Yes, there's a 99% chance that these three will be the top three, which is why I narrowed the list down to three, hehehe
But what do you (and everyone else here) think the final standings will be at the end of the championship?

Just out of curiosity, take a look at the list of the top 3 from the last 10 years. Only Braga in 22/23 managed to stay ahead of one of the top 3

My predictions are:

1 - Benfica
2 - Porto
3 - Sporting

All the three are bound to be at the top when season ends. But my list would be like this:

Code:

1 - Benfica
2 - Sporting
3 - Porto

BTW, today Porto faces Cuimaraes on the home soil. Should be an easy win for them. What do you think? I have already placed my bet on Porto win with 1.51 odds.

For the few teams I no that isn't always easy for Porto, Guimaraes usually prove uneasy for them and unfortunately Porto has lost to them before so actually except that Guimaraes did not make changes on there striking strength before they cannot make it uneasy for Porto as they did the last time but however you are right about this top three because is likely going to present this way but if there is any club that would be unfortunate among them not to be on the top three the replacement that might come for it is Moreirense because they're also as strong as this three teams.

Judging by their head-to-head record last season, Guimaraes is clearly not a difficult opponent for Porto FC, and the worst-case scenario is that this match will end in a draw. When the Portuguese league kicks off and Porto plays, I'm quite curious to see Luuk de Jong's performance. He's a new signing and a fairly prolific striker. I'm quite curious to see if, at 34, he can still show his prowess as a prolific goalscorer.

Continuing on to other matches, in the final match of the first week, besides the remaining match between Porto and Guimaraes, on the same day there will also be a match between Estoril and Estrela Amadora, which of course makes me choose Estoril. However, I don't see any Benfica and Rio Ave scheduled for this first week. Have they postponed that match?

So far the championship has started without any unexpected results, Sporting and Braga easily beat their opponents, and I think Porto should also beat Guimaraes, although despite the home match Guimaraes can be considered a tough nut to crack. And as I understand it, since Benfica has qualifying matches with Nice, the start of the season will be postponed a little later for them. Guimaraes has a good attack, so I think they can score today.

Yeah we could have seen an unexpected matches if either Sporting or braga could have lost on the goals they gave there opposite teams, it has been a good starting for Sporting winning Casa pia AC 2:0 and also for Braga to also win Tondela 3:0 by scoring higher than Sporting, from the three clubs we believe are the best is remaining two to play there first match for us to see if they can as well get there three point as Sporting, Benfica will be remaining after Porto today and would match against CF Estrela da Amadora. However all this matches they both play non of them was under championship match.

Portuguese league is increasingly making a name in their top leagues respectively. Teams like sporting, which has always been incredibly in the champions League,Porto which were the known "big name" are now fading away gradually. I believe their game against Guimaraes will prove them a strong side in the coming season. however, there are top 3 teams in the Portugal league which are definitely going to present their spectacular strength in the Champions leagues coming season -- moreirense is also a strong team in the league but were so unfortunate not to qualify for European competitions next season.

So far their championship competition has begun without any surprising results; sporting and Braga have easily beaten their opponents, also hoping to see porto beat Guimaraes considering the fact that the game will be played at Guimaraes' home -- but it's not going to be an easy one for Porto to score in this game. Guimaraes has a couple of well-equiped attackers to not worry too much. Meanwhile, benfica on the other hand has to qualify against Nice to play as well.

Unfortunately, I missed those two matches in which Sporting and Braga defeated their opponents. If I hadn’t missed them, I would’ve definitely bet on their victories. I’m hoping Porto beats Guimaraes, and that my bet pays off. If not, Benfica will make up for my loss in tomorrow’s qualifying clash with Nice, where they’re almost certain to win. Benfica's players are the notch above Nice's squad, and they’ll be playing at home with plenty of fans cheering them on.

Yesterday, Braga played Tondela, in a game where the first half was a veritable cycle of mistakes by Tondela's players. It seemed like their intention wasn't to score goals on purpose. To this day, I still wonder how they managed to miss like that. While they were missing, Braga's players were more accurate, scoring the first goal.

Then they taught Tondela's players a lesson in scoring when they scored the second goal in a similar situation to Tondela's, and they missed. To make matters worse for Tondela, they conceded a penalty, and Braga scored. It was an easy win for Braga, in my opinion.

After Sporting has sold Gyökeres they have signed Luis Suárez... However I still think there is no way he can get even close to what Gyökeres did in statistics last season. 

Suárez has really been in effective at first league level until now. I doubt him in the Liga Portugal also just for this reason.

This is why the balances might change in the league. My prediction for top 3:

1. Benfica
2. Sporting
3. Porto

Bookies also think the same as Benfica have 2.10 odds while it's 2.25 for Sporting and 4.50 for Porto...

I think it’s too early to talk about the Portuguese League standings because the transfer season hasn’t closed yet, and teams are still buying and selling players.
I read that Benfica might sell a few more players, and if they do, that could weaken their squad a bit.

After selling Gyökeres, it will be very difficult for S.Lisbon to fill his place, he was one of the biggest factors in last season’s championship.
Honestly, I don’t think Suarez will have the same impact as Gyökeres, or even half of it.
Anyway, it’s too early to talk about the championship, it’s very hard to know what will happen at this point.

In your opinion, is having these three teams consistently repeating themselves a healthy thing for the championship? In my view, I think this causes the teams at the bottom to always be at the bottom, and this cycle repeats itself. Other sponsors are unlikely to pursue other teams, which further reinforces this fixed ranking.

4.50 odds for porto this not a true reflection of how Porto is even though Porto has not been performing that great giving Porto this kind of results is not the ideal thing to do because Port stands a good chance of winning the league then about the Portuguese league I think that there are other good teams like Braga which are good but the other teams are not doing enough to compete with the other teams at the top

Although Guimares is neck and neck, Porto has scored twice and remains in the lead. The match is almost over. If Porto continues like this, they'll win, and it wouldn't be surprising if they do. However, if they didn't win this match, they would have fallen behind the other teams. Benfica's match will likely be played after their elimination.

[Phoenix Anka]

There's talk of Benfica approving a transfer for Kerem Aktürkoğlu. The technical staff has approved his sale, and the team president will make the final decision. Fenerbahçe wanted to sign him. If they pay the transfer fee, I think they could call him back to Turkey. We must admit that Benfica's performance fell short of expectations.

[joker_josue]

We already have the results of the first round (minus the Benfica vs Rio Ave game, which was postponed). It seems that Porto, of the big clubs, had the most difficult game, but managed to win with relative ease.

Will Porto really be better than many expect? Or was this just a good early-season game?


MATCH DAY 1 - RESULTS:
Casa Pia AC 0-2 Sporting Clube de Portugal
CD Nacional 0-2 Gil Vicente FC
FC Arouca 3-1 AVS
FC Famalicão 3-0 CD Santa Clara
Sporting Clube de Braga 3-0 CD Tondela
Moreirense FC 2-1 FC Alverca
GD Estoril Praia 1-1 CF Estrela da Amadora
FC Porto 3-0 Vitória SC

I totally agree with this analogy, it's not even far fetched the evidence is right here. The Portuguese title is just circling mainly between these three teams as stated here in the last 10 years and it will still happen again this new season and there's no doubt about that.

They still have a lot to prove. For me, this is just the beginning. Positioning Porto as a great team is more about tradition than results. They've often been inconsistent. So we must wait for them to truly show what they're made of. And I'll be even more interested when they face a bigger team.

BTW, today Porto faces Cuimaraes on the home soil. Should be an easy win for them. What do you think? I have already placed my bet on Porto win with 1.51 odds.

Not this time. They didn’t manage to score even onc, and Porto gave them the proper drubbing. The final score ^3:0 speaks for itself and my bet on Porto win paid off. Today, Benfica face Nice, and I expect them to nail down their success and qualify. I've already placed the bet on a Benfica victory. The odds aren’t too high at 1.58, but a win ^{if any} is still a win, money’s money.

I'm glad it paid off and congratulations for predicting it right, when I was trying to access there meetings I saw few doubtable things that started to weak how I think about Porto so I began to agitate about the match and it made me became uninterested again to bet them but is good that Porto didn't just dominate them all but they made it out with three goals. Aghehowa alone score two goals, just like we discussed other players who are performing well from there clubs that is how Aghehowa should be because a major part of there winning yesterday against Guimaraes came from his abilities.
