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.

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.

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.

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.
