Every season the competition is just like this and it is very monotonous, if there are changes or differences then they are only seen slightly and are not as significant as in other competitions.
But what interesting is that in every match, even though can see who is the favorite, there are still some big surprises that make the match results not match expectations.
Hahaha, this is one of the main attractions and the fight for the Portuguese League title can also be quite impressive from the start of the season to the middle because they are competing to be at the top of the standings, even though after the middle of the season the competition becomes quieter.

I completely agree, if investors come in and build each team well then it can further optimize the development of the Portuguese League because each team can become stronger.
Unfortunately this can't really happen at the moment and hopefully in the future there will be an agreement that can make investors interested and invest their money there.

Benfica's defenders were more experienced, and they attacked widely from the start of the game. And the attacks were very difficult especially the counter attack was able to score goals. moreirense's goalkeeper is not very experienced as the few balls that enter the goalpost net are touched by his body, but he can't keep the ball safely. No team can win with a performance like that, because the goalkeepers and defenders who think they have to face the situation. Benfica team won and placed second in the points table, their performance is very good and will be considered as the best team in Portugal league in the future.

FC Porto 2-2 Famalicão

 

This was a very important game for Porto, as they needed to win to continue their guaranteed fight for third place, since first place is an impossible mission and fighting for second is a very difficult task, this was a very disastrous season for Porto. Porto are 15 points behind Sporting and can still increase this difference to 18 points. The situation at Porto is really not good, I'm wondering if they will make any good signings next season to be able to fight for the title. I don't know, next season Porto will continue with Sérgio Conceição, whenever Porto loses he has given interviews that cause a lot of controversy. Does not like to accept defeat, always tries to blame someone for Porto's defeat. if benfica wins in the game against moreirense, then benfica will be 11 points ahead and will be very comfortable in position 2 and at least they can also come out with victory in the next game of the european league and they would move on to another phase, at least for the Benfica the situation is not as serious as the situation in Porto this season


this season the teams that are not frequent at the top 4 are also trying hard to the point of managing to win and draw in games against benfica and against porto, a recent example of what I'm talking about was what happened in yesterday's game involving porto against the pharmaceutical. it was a game that ended in a draw and farmalicao is a team that is in position 8 and in the last 5 games they only lost in 1 game, if the other teams are lucky to have someone rich invest in the team if the Portuguese sports law allows That's it, so I believe that we would see many teams from the Portuguese league being strong to the point of being able to go very far in European competitions. nowadays for a team to be successful it needs to have a good coach and money


Sporting is unstoppable this season, it was a good choice for me to add Sporting to my multibet bet. They played an excellent game and scored 4 goals, it was a very easy victory, but in my opinion in the game against Farmalicao they will not have an easy game but if Benfica also loses points in the game against Moreirense and Sporting wins in the game against farmalicao, so Sporting will guarantee the title, because I very much doubt that they would have many defeats to the point where Benfica would be able to catch up to Sporting

Yes, you are right and indeed Benfica, Sporting, Porto are 3 teams that can always dominate League games to become more competitive and they are also team that can compete in several European competitions such as the UCL and European League.
It just that so far none of them really look dominant in European competition and basically they have failed to fight for the title.
I don't know if in the future they will be able to make changes that will show much better quality of performance, but considering that currently Portuguese football is not yet filled with great players, it can be concluded that all these hopes cannot be fulfilled in the near future.

But on the other hand, Braga is also still showing the stability of their playing quality and it is likely that they will become one of the quite dangerous competing teams in the European League and several competitions in Portugal.
Next season we will definitely see how the competition is much more competitive and of course this happens not only for the Portuguese League but also several other competitions, but it looks like Sporting will remain the favorites and at the top as long as they continue on the right track.

Sporting has already played and beaten Gil Vicente (4-0), they played earlier, because next week they will play the delayed game against Famalicão.

The Portuguese league have teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. Porto are doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same scenerio applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the Europran cups too.

 Benfica have been doing well at securing the three points in most of their games with good goal margins. It only shows how set they are for the task put before them. Although a lesser performance isn't expected from them. Sporting are very much impactful in their games and Benfica too, the league seems less competitive as these teams unendingly saves the day for themselves and one would really wish there can be improvement as we'd love to see more clubs rising up to the contest before them and holding onto it fully.
 
 The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

 Braga although have been a good team though, but they've incurred some losses too and lost but the 3points fairly in their last game. They were a better side and they were also the hosts too. Their game play didn't work well in their favor. Sadly they weren't able to keep a clean sheet and still had to bear 3goal margin from their visitors.

Porto managed to win the European Champions League, but that was many years ago and since winning the European Champions League years ago, they haven't won the European Champions League anymore. In every season that Porto participates in the European Champions League, they play with the aim of getting as far as possible and not to win the European Champions League, the same applies to Benfica and Sportirg who play to reach the as far as possible in the European Champions League and has no objective of winning the European Champions League. about the performance of Porto and Benfica in the league this season, they are terrible


In the last 5 games Porto won only 3 games, they lost 2 games and in the race for the title they are on an impossible mission. The difference in points in relation to Sporting and the difference in performance in relation to Sporting is large in my opinion, looking at the table:



Currently the difference in points between Sporting and Porto is 13 points, this means that Sporting just needs to win the missing game for that point difference to increase to 16 points and Porto only has 6 games left. So the porto is not doing well, it was a disastrous season



Well, Benfica managed to win two European Champions Leagues, but it was many years ago, while Sporting didn't win the European Champions League, but it was a team that had legends like Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo. In my opinion, Sporting and the Portuguese team brought out the best Portuguese talents, I could be wrong


In my opinion, Benfica are not doing well this season, they have lost when they are games against strong teams, at the moment I write they are at least winning in the European League game, but only by one goal and there are many minutes left before the game ends, what gives? time for the opponent to reverse this negative result

Next week Sporting will have two matches at once, namely the 29th match which will be against Gil Vicente and also the postponed match which will be against Famalicao, in these two matches Sporting will still get the full 6 points easily.
Moreover, with what Sporting currently has and the quality of their performance, it can be concluded that no other team in the future will be able to stop them from winning the title.
All of them are easy matches and of course overall can be completed without any bad results, in the remaining matches that will lead to the completion of the competition they have confirmed their strength which shows that they are the strongest.

Sporting are also in the final position for the Portuguese Cup and they are just waiting to see who the winner will be between Porto vs Guimaraes in the second leg of the semi-final match.
Porto has 1 - 0 aggregate advantage over Guimaraes thanks to winning the first leg away match and the second leg will be home match for Porto and from here Porto has very big chance to win and then be in the final against Sporting.
In the final I think it will be fierce match because Porto also certainly hopes to win the Portuguese Cup title, if both of them play well then the chance of draw and penalty shootout could very well be possible.
