Portimonense 1 - 2 Casa Pia AC
well, I believe that this is a result without many surprises, casa pia came to this game with 2 wins in 5 games, they were in need of this victory, and in their last game they won so they were more optimistic for this game , meanwhile, their opponent Portimonense came into this game with only 1 victory in the last 5 games, and in their last game they lost so clearly they were not optimistic for this game, with this victory the Casa Pia will again have more optimism in the remaining games, they were even doing well but then they started to drop in performance
FC Porto 3 - 0 Arouca
40 minutes into the 1st half and we are already seeing Porto with 3 goals, honestly when I saw odds of @1.14 for Porto I thought it was a very exaggerated odd but I confess that I am very surprised that Porto scored so many goals in a short time, there will still be 45 more minutes of play, and I keep wondering how many goals we will see in this game, Portimonense comes to this game with a defeat, but they didn't even have such a fragile defense because in general terms they are one of the few teams that suffered less goals, but with this high number of goals that they are conceding, this will shake them psychologically

After the break for the World Cup and a few games for the League Cup (a less relevant competition for the big clubs) the Portuguese championship returns this week, similar to what happens throughout Europe.
Here is the list of matches for the 14th round:
Rio Ave 1-1 Maritimo
FC Porto vs Arouca
Gil Vicente vs Santa Clara
Estoril vs Boavista
Sporting CP vs Paços Ferreira
Chaves vs Famalicão
Vizela vs Vitória SC
Braga vs Benfica
Some interesting facts about the top games:
FC Porto vs Arouca = Porto's attack has benefited from an excellent season by Galeno, who has already scored ten goals this season. Arouca has Rafa Mujica with nine goals scored in 18 official games, which he scored in the last six games in which he participated.
Sporting CP vs Paços Ferreira = On Sporting's side, striker Paulinho scored six goals in the four games played in the League Cup. Paços de Ferreira, with Matchoi Djaló, has been trying to be one of the imbalance points in an attack that has produced little this season.

Yesterday Sporting played and won the game against Rio Ave, counting for the League Cup, by 2-0. They are well on their way to moving forward in the competition.
Today Porto is playing against Chaves and needs to win if they want to continue in this competition (The game may be postponed due to the extreme weather affecting Portugal).

I didn't knew that they continue to play in Portugal and didn't made break for World Cup. Why? Big teams released their main players not just into Portugal, but also some other national teams. Though, even without main players, for teams like Porto or Benfica it shouldn't be problem to reach next round of League Cup. IIRC, they're playing in group stage in League Cup, right?
About Benfica run without defeats, it heavy depends in what condition players after Wolrd Cup will return. Also, I remember Sporting few years ago also had long run without defeats, and they finally lost when they already were crowned as champions.

The League Cup was created to have more player turnover, and it's not even a very important competition.
So it was easy to fit this competition at this stage of the season.
This sequence of victories is already the second best in the history of Benfica. That if not lost by the end of January will become the first.
Tonight it was Benfica's turn to play the second round of the League Cup, with a good result:
Benfica 2-0 Penafiel
Despite the first half having no goals, Benfica dominated. In the middle of the second half, the two goals arrived, guaranteeing another victory for Benfica.
There are already 27 games without losing this season to Benfica. How many more games will they win?
A cry from benfica supporters says: "No one stops Benfica, no one stops Benfica, no one stops Benfica".
It looks like it's true...

Yesterday it was Porto who got into action in the first round of the League Cup, and things didn't go very well.
FC Porto 2-2 Mafra
There was a lot of lack of some players in Porto, which at the end of the first half lost by 2 goals. In the second half he showed a different attitude, and ended up tying the match.
It is true that this is not a competition of great importance, but it is always relevant to lose points with a team of lower rank.

Porto this season is not doing well, in some games they have started to lose and then they struggle to draw and in other games they suffer a lot and this has revealed that they are not doing well this season and their coach, sergio conceicao, is already involved in controversy, this time he criticized the opposing coach, complained that the opposing goalkeeper was constantly wasting time, this shows that sergio conceição has repeatedly complained about all the organization of the games and the pain of the referees when his team plays it looks like they are sabotaging Porto, but Porto is not playing well enough to score many goals and have good results.
I think the only team that might be able to catch up with Benfica is Porto now. Porto
this season Porto is not doing well, maybe if they manage to sign more players then the team's performance will be better than the current performance and with that they could be able to compete against benfica who is unstoppable, benfica plays well, even if someone who doesn't like benfica watch benfica's game you might like what you're watching, but in the case of porto they don't play well, their defense is not well and their attack is stopped and only starts to work when they are losing, but strange that in champions league they are having good results

I think the only team that might be able to catch up with Benfica is Porto now. Porto lost 5 points on the previous five weeks and this helped Benfica open the gap even more. One of these point losses was against Benfica actually. Benfica are very determined to win the title after a break of a few seasons.
Accordingly. But as Porto does not depend on itself to overcome Benfica, as it has to wait for Benfica to lose points with other teams, the month of January - after the World Cup, will be decisive to understand if Benfica continues with the same rhythm or not.
I think the month of January will be a remarkable month, both for the Portuguese League and for most of the leagues in European countries.

They aren't this much good in the Liga Portugal only of course. Their Champions League performance has also been impressive. It looks like they can reach the quarter finals by eliminating Club Brugge as well. This season is going on way better for them as a result.

League Cup: Estrela Amadora 2-3 SL Benfica
Although the result seems to be a very balanced game, the reality is that Benfica had several opportunities to score many goals. But, especially in the second half, Estrela da Amadora's goalkeeper was very good and defended several shots. In turn, Estrela da Amadora, had the ability to take advantage of the two opportunities he had to score a goal.
Benfica played well and was very dominant, if only the Benfica defender didn't miss Henrique in the 95th minute then I'm sure Amadora would lose with a score of 3-1.Although the result seems to be a very balanced game, the reality is that Benfica had several opportunities to score many goals.

in the other match vicente and covilha played in a draw, vicente was really lucky because the 2 goals they scored came through a penalty.

That game was unexpected indeed we all thought that benfeca would win easily but estreala team had a decent performance they too missed some chances but not much as benfica did am sure that's the best they could do.

Not the tennis result I was expecting but as you said if they had scored a lot of the opportunities they have created we may had a truly tennis result.This result shows that Benfica just wanted to get rid of Estrela and move on to the next stage of the Portugal cup.I think it is one of the rare leagues where the cup is also evaluated as a great thing beside the league itself,if we see Europe in Germany,Spain and some other leagues the cup is not that important but in Portugal the fact that the strong teams keep winning it is a determining factor.Only in England the cup not all of them as they have several but the FA cup is really valued just like in Portugal.
In Portugal the big teams continue to win, because even their second lines continue to be superior to the smaller teams.
Although the smaller teams try to perform better in this cup, they end up not being able to overcome the big ones. Even so, from time to time, one or another small team manages to give more fight to the big ones.

Benfica are still unstoppable in the league. 12 wins and 1 draw in 13 games is a really impressive statistics. They have played one big game in the league so far and defeated Porto in that one. They have been incredible about being productive also. Darwin Nunez was scoring so many goals for them until being transferred by Liverpool. But even his departure didn't affect them in a bad way. They have nearly a statistics like 3 goals per game in the league now. Porto can still keep up with them of course as 8 points is not a too big gap. But this really seems like Benfica's season.
When it comes to the Champions League I also expect them to eliminate Club Brugge decently. Their group stage performance was more impressive than Club Brugge's. Even if they are eliminated in quarter finals it would still be a good success for Benfica.

this will be a game in which benfica will have difficulties to win the game, benfica will not be playing with all their strength so it is natural that the coach of benfica also chooses to give rest to the rest of the main team players and play with team B, since team B is probably not strong so I would say that the game will end in a draw or with few goals, betting on the winner is very risky, in the last 5 games Estrela Amadora scored in all games and I don't know how the B team of benfica plays, but my guess would be BTTS
But this game will also be a good opportunity for the second line players, to try to show themselves and play a good game, with the aim of having the opportunity to be a first line choice for the Benfica coach.
Estrela da Amadora, on the other hand, will want to do everything to have a good result, as this will allow them to be better positioned to move on to the next stage of the competition, taking into account that only the first place in the group passes.
I think Benfica will win this game with a tennis result even if they play with the players from the bench which is the most likely occurrence for this game.While I agree that a team from a lower league will try to play at their 110% against the best team of the Portugal Primeira Liga this will surely not be enough to hold back Benfica.There will not be any surprise for this game,Benfica is going to win easily,I also think the odd of Benfica should be in the range of 1.30 to 1.50 because of Estrela being in the top three teams in the Liga 2 in Portugal but most probably as I said Benfica is going to win,there is quite some difference between the first and second leagues in any country and this is the case also in Portugal.

Benfica again won the match against Gil Vicente with a score of 3-1. So that the points for Benfica continue to increase, as if there are no equal opponents in the Primeira Liga. We can see this based on the last 13 matches with 12 wins and 1 draw. While FC Porto continues to catch up, because the gap in points with Benfica is 8 points. It's a big number for this year, considering that Benfica's form has been very good, and they are hard to beat.
Benfica's rivalry with FC Porto is clear, because these two clubs are in the last 16 of the Champions League. Of course these two clubs will show their superiority.
The remaining two matches for this week, Famalicao vs Sporting CP and Santa Clara vs Estoril. Of course this is an important match for Sporting CP to place 4th position. And I believe Sporting CP will win the match. But Famalicao is also a formidable club despite currently being in 14th position in the standings. Although head to head, Sporting CP is superior to Famalicao, but Famalicao has also beaten Sporting CP in the Primeira Liga 19/20 with a fantastic score.

Benfica performance both here and in the Champions League is a clear indicator for me that most likely they will win the Liga Portugal and if I remember correctly they will be facing Club Brugge which is the "easiest" team compared to all other teams right now in the Champions League and most probably they can go far even in the Champions League during this season.
They in Liga Portugal are the most consistent team so it is only natural for them to end the season as winners but there is a lot of time until then.
this season benfica is doing very well, they have overcome all obstacles and have all the conditions to become champions, but they are also very lucky because porto had some games in which they lost points, and that undoubtedly benefited benfica a lot, with the inconsistency that porto has had this season, and sporting and also brada are two other teams that are inconsistent and may lose points in the next games so benfica has good chances to become champions, they just need to stay consistent, they they just need not to lose points, if they achieve this then they will be champions. in the champions league they were also very lucky because they will play against a team that is not very strong in relation to the rest of the other teams
Despite the championship being on pause because of the World Cup, the ball continues to roll with the League Cup games.
Today Benfica will play with Estrela da Amadora, a historic club in Portuguese football, which spent many years in the first division, until having suffered financial problems that kept it away from football for many years. But, two or three seasons ago, he came back and started in the lower leagues of Portugal, and always climbing the division every season, he is already in the second division.
What will be the result? What are your bets?
Estrela Amadora vs SL Benfica
I would say Benfica, despite not having some of the main players, because they are in the World Cup.
