Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2025/26

[joker_josue]

Next up is another round, with one game in particular: Braga vs. Benfica.
It's an important game for both teams, as Benfica needs to win to avoid losing sight of the top two spots, and Braga needs to win if they want to continue fighting for fourth place.

Sporting and Porto shouldn't have difficult matches. Gil Vicente, the surprise of the season, should also have an easy game and could maintain fourth place.

Next up is another round, with one game in particular: Braga vs. Benfica.
It's an important game for both teams, as Benfica needs to win to avoid losing sight of the top two spots, and Braga needs to win if they want to continue fighting for fourth place.

I see the odds for the match like this.

• Braga: 3.40
• Draw: 3.25
• Benfica: 2.10

2.10 given for Benfica doesn't surprise me much honestly. Not only because Braga have a decent form lately. But because they haven't been a team Benfica are able to beat regularly as the away side.    I think Braga won't lose.

Sporting and Porto shouldn't have difficult matches. Gil Vicente, the surprise of the season, should also have an easy game and could maintain fourth place.

I think the same on top 2 teams. Porto even have an easier match as AVS look horrible with 0 win in 15 matches.

Seeing these odds makes me tempted to bet on Benfica 
However, it seems that I bring bad luck when I bet on this type of game. To me, a Benfica victory seems “easy,” but the home field advantage could be something that prevents this victory

Without betting, I would say that a draw is a very likely result
Braga was struggling, but they've recovered well and in their last five games, they've had four wins and one loss only

I don't see Braga doing so well. Even in the last round they lost to Estoril, a team that's usually in the middle of the table.

Now, just like Benfica, Braga is very unstable, playing both badly and well. So it's an open game, leaning slightly more towards Benfica.

I find the given odds very interesting given the high risk in this match. I don't trust a lot Benfica even though they didn't lost any game so far but I am afraid they finish it with draw given that Braga is a good team too and playing in their home. These arguments should be taken on consideration before betting.
In the previous matches, Benfica won most of them which boost their odds here. I go with a draw or Benfica victory myself.

... I go with a draw or Benfica victory myself.

It's a safe bet in my opinion

The only problem is the odds, 1.26 only, but I think it's easy to win this one

Dew to what is involved I think the two clubs will have to come hard on each other, I project to see a goal galore when they both come against each other cause the odds are very high for the both teams,

Braga will no't want to lose to their grip on the fourth place which is what they require if they want to land a place in european football for next season, but for Benfica I think they will want to try to get at lest a point

which in my opinion will be a good job for the team should they succeed cause it will help keep them close to second placed sporting Lisbon that is ahead of them on the table.

Benfica's disallowed goal struck me as odd. There was a challenge, but it was very weak. If the play hadn't resulted in a goal, say if it had been a similar challenge in midfield, I don't think the referee would have called a foul.

Mourinho's post-match comments were more interesting. We won the game, the goal was clean, it was a great victory, he said. We all know his style. He criticizes the referees sarcastically. But Benfica had other opportunities to win the game, but they failed to capitalize on them.

Benfica is still undefeated, but they left 2 points on the table. Porto and Sporting are opening up the gap.

[MK-74]

Benfica drew 2–2 away against Sporting Braga and returned home with just one point. I’m actually happy that Benfica dropped points because I enjoy seeing Mourinho lose. I really don’t like him at all.

Sporting Lisbon are currently playing against Rio Ave. They finished the first half 1–0 ahead and the second half has just started. Sporting Lisbon are the better side and are creating more chances.

If you had placed a multi-game bet on Benfica to draw or win + Sporting to win + Porto to win, you would have gotten a decent odd like I did. Luckily, Benfica didn't lose; they drew, but it was a game where they struggled a lot. Honestly, it was disappointing to watch, but at least Benfica didn't ruin my bet. Sporting is winning and has already scored 2 goals. I see that I'm going to get all 3 games right. As a Benfica fan, I didn't like how they were dominated by Braga; their squad is very weak.
