Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2025/26

Porto and Benfica were a disappointment in the last round. I hope the same doesn't happen to Sporting. A team that wants to win has to play seriously in every match, regardless of the opponent; every point at this stage deserves to be fought for.

Theoretically, Benfica should be in better shape at this late stage of the competition because the team is no longer competing in continental leagues, while the other teams are still in the running and have to play more games, and tougher ones since these are the advanced stages of the competitions (round of 16)

Porto, Sporting, and Braga have had some very tough and demanding matches this week, which are physically draining, while Benfica can train and rest more

It’s important to take these additional matches into account for the teams

Sporting has a tough match on the 15th against Arsenal and then on the 19th against Benfica

It's very strange how Famalicão managed to play well against Porto, scoring 2 goals and managing to draw, but they couldn't beat Moreirense, who haven't won in their last 5 games. And look, in the game against Moreirense, they conceded a goal after just 4 minutes and only managed to equalize in the 71st minute, and the game ended in a draw. It was a game where Famalicão could have come away with 3 points, but they wasted it.
