Portuguese League - Liga Portugal 2025/26

...
Well, a good league to bet on but most of this team matches come with small odds because bookmakers are certain that this team has high chance of winning their matches. Portuguese league isn't competitive compare to premiership, serie A and others. Here, Porto, Sporting and Benfica dominate the league and have been rotating the league title for years.

Exactly 
That's why I do a lot of parlays, because a few years ago I saw this pattern and decided to bet (literally) that the top 3 teams win the vast majority of games
It doesn't make much sense to bet on a simple 1 x 2 win, but parlays are a good deal here

Some matches are good for betting on +3 goals, but I'm still not very good at making those kinds of bets

In some Portuguese league games, it's quite difficult to bet on multiple selections. I'll cite the case of Braga and Guimarães, who went to the semi-finals with Sporting, Benfica, etc., competing for the title. So it's something very specific to bet on multiples.

Keep the bet in the league and within trusted teams because you never know the outcome of fluctuating teams like Braga and Gil Vicente.
Interestingly there will be a game today between Benfica and Porto in the cup. Both these teams didn't lose any match in the league so today, after 3 hours and a half, one of them have to lose the game. Most likely it will be Mourinho and his boys.

[ajanwalker]

Jose Mourinho has failed to win any of the 5 big matches he's managed since taking charge of Benfica. Benfica has been eliminated from two cup competitions during this period.

Yesterday, they lost 1-0 to Porto in the quarter-finals and were knocked out of the cup.

Benfica are also 10 points behind league leaders Porto.

I don't think Jose will stay at Benfica at the end of the season. Benfica made a big mistake by dismissing Bruno Lage. Perhaps Amorim could be Benfica's new manager next year. Because I don't think they will start next season with Jose Mourinho.

Benfica needed a change of coach, but I also agree that Mourinho turned out to be far from the best choice for Benfica. For them it was in some way a risk as well, because in all his previous clubs Mourinho showed that he is no longer as good as he used to be. Therefore the decision of Benfica to appoint Mourinho as their head coach was a risky step, but they wanted to try, maybe he would be able to work well with a Portuguese club. Now I also think that the Benfica management is already considering how to replace Mourinho, and most likely they are looking for a substitute for him.

Benfica has already suffered two consecutive defeats, and I hope they can improve their performance because they're not doing very well this way. They lost to Porto yesterday, but they're doing well in the league. They need to be careful; losing or drawing at this stage will be costly later on.

it's unlikely they will improve performace with Mourinho as head coach. Porto and Sporting look much better than Benfica. only weakness of other teams in Liga Portugal prevents Benfica from dropping below third place.

in my opinion, probably third place is Benfica's best result this season. it seems that Gil Vicente, Braga, Moreirense, Vitoria Guimaraes and others don't have quality players to compete even with such Benfica.

[DiMarxist]

I don't think that Benfica is doing badly in the league they are third on the league but ten points behind Porto the league leaders. The coach is trying his best to make sure that the team gets back to form building a team and getting results is not something that is done in a day but is actually a gradually process which takes time. Mourinho should just concentrate on the league because it's obvious that the league is were they have much hope on so maintaining a consistent performance in the league so that they can put more pressure on Porto that is on top the league.

After a tough week for Benfica, where they lost against Porto in the Portuguese Cup, we return to the league and the start of the second half of the season.

Porto has a good advantage to win the championship, Sporting still believes they can catch Porto, and Benfica can perhaps only think about trying to secure second place.

Let's see how the second half of the championship will begin:


MATCH DAY 18:
^{16.01 20:15} Sporting CP vs Casa Pia
^{17.01 15:30} Gil Vicente vs CD Nacional
^{17.01 18:00} AVS vs Arouca
^{17.01 18:00} Alverca vs Moreirense
^{17.01 20:30} Rio Ave vs SL Benfica
^{18.01 15:30} Santa Clara vs Famalicão
^{18.01 18:00} Tondela vs Braga
^{18.01 20:30} Vitória SC vs Porto
^{19.01 20:15} Amadora vs Estoril Praia

I gree with your points, because a team that is sitting in third place in the Portuguese league table is not doing badly at all. Beside there are still more matches to be played which am sure 17 matches are remaining to be play. So benfica still have the chance of getting to the top, if only they can be consistent in wining their matches this time around. And there's no doubt that Benfica has lost form, because their platforms has dropped currently making the team to inconsistent. And  I believe their coach is working on that to bring the Benfica team back to it normal state. So Fan's has to be patient with him, because it's not easy to bring a team back on form it takes time.

I'm inclined to disagree with you. If they continue at this pace, Benfica will fall below third place. The other teams are much better than them. In two or three rounds, if they make even one mistake, they'll drop several positions. They need to be much more competitive.

The difference between the third position and the fourth position is quite far, namely eleven points, 3 rounds are not enough to catch up because it takes 4 rounds, to produce 12 points in chasing Benfica in 3rd position, the remaining rounds are only 16 rounds, if Benfica does not develop it will be very possible to be chased by other teams but I think it will be very difficult to see Benfica will not stay silent in a situation like this, they can still maintain 3rd position in the standings with their current abilities, I tend to see the potential for Sporting CP to make blunders in several matches and benefit Benfica.
