It looks like Sporting is favored in this game while they play at home while Benfica face Porto in today games in the Liga Portugal.I am pretty confident that Sporting is going to easily win the game of today while they play against a weaker opponent and they play in their home stadium while the game between Porto and Benfica I don't have an idea of the result however I am assuming the most logical would be a draw or a Porto win while I see it very difficult a win for Benfica.One limiting factor that could have been hindering the game is the fact that Porto would have been playing in Champions but luckily for them they don't this upcoming week so all their focus is in this game and I see a lost game at home for them very much unlikely.
I actually thought that in semifinals we have single leg format, same like in previous rounds, but yeah, there is second leg game remaining. Meanwhile Benfica have big game with Porto this round. If Porto still have intentions to get involved into title race, it's must win game for them.
Porto has some very important games coming up (Benfica and Arsenal)
It may be one of their last chances to have any hope of the title like you said (which I think is unlikely, but not impossible)
If they manage to beat Benfica, the gap will drop to 6 points and 10 games remaning (30 points in dispute)
Porto really look like they have given up on the league championship at this point. 
They lost so many points on the past five weeks. Losing 7 points in this time period helped Benfica - Sporting duo get away from Porto very much. While there are only 11 weeks to go Porto would need a miracle to get back into the championship race.
It is even quite doubtful about Porto to get past Arsenal in this round of the Champions League to make more money.
Does anyone think they can make it? I think Arsenal would destroy them at Emirates.

As I said above, a win could bring the gap between Benfica and Porto down to 6 points, but it will still depend on Sporting. And Porto will still be playing Sporting with 4 games to end the season
It's not impossible
About the UCL and the game against Arsenal, Porto did what they could and are going to England with a win, I agree that Arsenal have more chances, but I don't think Porto will be destroyed or that it will be easy. I'm rooting for Porto to hold on and qualify, that would be great for Portugal

You're absolutely right the match is going to be one of the toughest match in Portugal league today,porto is in a very good form this season so with that I think they can get benfica eliminated considering the home advantage.porto is very good at home, though the match is not going to be tough for Porto but with there form I guess they will beat benfica or they draw the match. However sporting is one of the best team in Portugal league, there performance this season is quite impressing I strongly believe that they will get sc farense eliminated because they happens to be one of the wicker teams in Portugal considering the home advantage that was given to sporting I guess the match will end up 7:0 in favor to sporting so they can get at the top of the table,benfica has 2points ahead of them, benfica has played 23matches and sporting still have more 2matches so I think the possibility for sporting to win the league is 70% if they continue with this there pattern of play.
Being 9 points bhind and having the opportunity to be 12 points with 10 matches remaining is certainly not something easy for porto and it is probably very realistic for them to maintain their current 3rd place ranking, the match between porto and benfica will definitely present a very tough match and may even have a fairly high match tension, it will not be an easy for Porto to beat benfica who so far have remained very consistent in the league and my prediction is that maybe the match wiill end in a draw or one team willl win by a difference of one goal.
Porto Vs Benfica
Third-placed Porto will host Benfica at the Estadio do Dragao today in the Primeira Liga. Porto drew 1-1 with Gil Vicente last week. Meanwhile, Benafica beat Portimonense 4-0 in their last domestic league match but lost 2-1 to Sporting Portugal in the League Cup. Benafica are 2 points ahead of Sporting Portugal if they have played a match more. Today's match has a chance to increase the points gap, if Benafica can win today's match then they will go far in the title race. It is very difficult to say which team will win today's match as both the teams are equally skilled. Considering the current form of both teams I think today's match could be a high scoring draw. My prediction for today's match is Porto 2-2 Benfica.

Portugal's match schedule has become a bit confusing hehe. Maybe it's because of the teams participating in the continental championships and they are obligated to change some dates
Yeah, probably that's a reason why we have such schedule, but usually, in other countries calendar is made in such way that there is no need to make changes in calendar because of continental cups. There is room for improvement for PortugalQuote
Benfica seem to have improved over the last few games and are doing very well in the championships right now
It's going to be a VERY tough game for both teams, but I also believe Sporting will qualify
Viktor Gyökeres is helping the team a lot, yesterday he scored another goal in an important match, and if he continues at the same level, he can help Sporting get further in the Europa League as well

It looks a bit strange when two different rounds of cup are played on the same day, but we have such situation in Portugal today.

Santa Clara and Porto played last 1/4 final game and Porto won it 1:2. They will face Vitoria Guimares in semifinal. Other semifinal is starting soon. We have derby between Sporting and Benfica. Personally, I see Sporting as favorites in this game, they're looking more solid and consistent all season long.

The joker won't be posting the table for a few weeks, so I'll post it here until he gets back 
The table after round 23 looks like this:
Sporting's draw made the dispute even tighter
Sporting have 1 game less than Benfica, so with a simple win they would be in first place with a one-point lead
Porto lost the pace and now there's 9 points between Porto and Benfica, I don't know if Porto have strenght this year to pursue the title

Sometimes I notice that when a team plays in the continental championship, such as the Champions League or Europa League, the team can't play as well in the next game in the national championship
It can be a number of factors, travel to another country, physical and mental fatigue, the difficulty of the previous game, etc
And look, Porto and Sporting didn't get good results in the last round, while they got excelent results in Europa League and UCL
Maybe I'll avoid betting on those rounds
Yeah, good point, such things really happens. Especially if it was long away trip or tough game with extra time.It can be a number of factors, travel to another country, physical and mental fatigue, the difficulty of the previous game, etc

Rio Ave - Sporting was good game to watch. If you wouldn't know, it would be difficult to tell that Rio Ave is fighting to avoid relegation. They played great game yesterday.
Porto after dropping points vs Vizela made their situation very complicated. Next round game with Benfica will be do or die if they're still dreaming about title. But for me it's just doesn't looks that they have potential for it this season.
~snip~
Sporting game surprised me the most today in the Portuguese League. Rio Ave is a weaker team but played with sporting as if they were playing with a team of the same level. Imagine getting 3 goals against Sporting. They even planned to get the whole 3 point in that game from Sporting FC. Although the 2 penalties awarded to them had really helped them in the match. This match had made me lose my bet today but we move.Even though the second and third were goals from penalties but it gave them draw against strong team like Sporting, I sure many gamblers who initially made Sporting as favorites were really disappointed in this match.
But Rio Ave received red card from their right-back Renato Pantalon, this will mean Renato Pantalon will have to be absent from several future matches.
Benfica vs Porto will be very interesting match and of course this is very important match for both team because they are two of the top 3 team.
If Benfica loses this match, it could provide an opportunity for Sporting to take over the top position in the standings because their difference is only 2 points.
But if Benfica manages to win then they can get really safe conditions because the gap is getting bigger even though Sporting has one game left.

And talking about Sporting, I'm following Sporting's game against Rio Ave, the game has now ended and it was a game in which there were 2 penalties in favor of Rio Ave, something very strange, with this result Sporting loses first place to Benfica and I believe Benfica are very grateful because they can be champions, Sporting didn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity, so I hope Benfica makes good use of this good opportunity and wins the remaining games until they become champions, in Benfica's next 5 games, They will play against Porto and Sporting if Benfica manages to win in these two games against big teams, so I see Benfica being champions

The Rio Ave, It is a team that, despite being small, always creates a lot of difficulties for the big teams. All the big three have had tough games with them. At the moment Benfica has a bigger advantage, but Sporting still has a game in hand. And the next round will be difficult, we will have a Benfica vs Porto. A decisive game for Porto.

the results of today's games involving the big teams were results that some of them surprised me, benfica played against portimoense. the game ended with a goalless draw in the 1 half and left me very worried because I bet on Benfica to win the game, but when in the 2 half Benfica scored the first goal it left me calm, and the most unbelievable thing is that it only took 2 minutes for Benfica to score another goal again and another 2 minutes Benfica scored the third goal and I was soon convinced that Benfica's victory was already guaranteed and my bet was safe and Benfica scored the fourth goal and won the game, There is no doubt that Benfica did well in this game
Another game that happened today was Porto's game against Gil Vicente, I didn't place a bet on that game because Porto is a team that, in my opinion, doesn't give me confidence even when they play against accessible opponents and in the case of this game when Porto scored a goal I really thought they could win and when the 88th minute arrived I stopped following the game because I thought Porto's victory was guaranteed. After a few minutes I went back to see the final result of the game and I was shocked by what I saw, Porto conceded a goal and the game ended in a draw. With this result it is difficult for Porto to reach the top, but at least Porto is in luck because Sporting drew in its game against Rio Ave in a game in which Rio Ave won 2 penalties.

Just to inform you that during the next few weeks, I will not be able to share the statistical data, as usual, for technical reasons.
But, be sure to comment on the events in the championship Portuguese.

No problem joker, I can post the table, but not as good and well formatted as yours hehehe
It's a good thing I didn't place any bets for this round, I focused more on the Europa League as there were three Portuguese competing for a place in the round of 16
Porto drew the match and I couldn't imagine that result. Porto lost important points in that game, while Benfica did very well and scored 4 more goals in the match to get the 3 points
Sporting are playing now, 2x2 Rio Ave, but I believe Sporting will win this match

Rio Ave will host points table top side Sporting Clube de Portugal at their home ground in the Portugal Primeria League today. Rio Ave played well in their last match against Famalicao but ended up losing 2-1. Rio Ave have won just one of their last five matches. Meanwhile, Spotting Portugal are in great form, unbeaten in their last five matches. Sporting Portugal won their last match in the domestic league 2-0 at home to Morirens. Sporting Portugal are competing with Benfica for the top of the points table. Both teams have the same 55 points, although Sporting Portugal have played one match less. Today they have a chance to extend the points gap with Benafica in the points table. Considering the overall form, I don't think Rio Ave will do much against Sporting Portugal today. My prediction for today's match is Sporting Portugal to beat Rio Ave 3-1.
Interesting table of standings with Sporting being the most favored team so far to have the highest chances to win the Liga Portugal.Of course this is difficult to predict since now as there are another 14 games to be played until the end of the league so most likely what will decide the winner of this league is the fact as which team from Benfica or Sporting will handle better the huge amount of psychological pressure for the title fight
Benfica managed to score 6 goals, and took away a bit of the goal difference to Sporting and this could be VERY important at the end of the championship
Can you imagine if they draw on points and the championship is decided on goals?
Hehehe, difficult but possible

Yes, it could happen. But the first tiebreaker would be the direct confrontation. And at this moment Benfica has an advantage, because they won in the first round.
