Congratulations to benfica on winning the league cup, they defeated the league leader sporting and it was not an easy win either, it was a win that had to be decided on penalties. 13 penalties were played before Trincao went on to miss for sporting. It was an interesting match overall, the full time ended in a 1-1 draw and they went straight to penalties with no extra time been played. Benfica took the early lead, before victor Gyokeres equalized from the spot for sporting. Sporting had good chances to win the league cup but they failed to convert. Benfica also played well and had their chances too but also failed to convert, it a good thing they won at the end they would have regretted not converting those chances. Sporting really need to cling on the league now, it would be a very bad season if they end it without a trophy.
Meanwhile today postponed game between Nacional and Sporting was played. And itended with huge upset - Nacional won game 2:0. Not sure how it happened as none of channels available for me didn't showed game, probably they wasn't avare that game will be played today, so, I only saw goals on Youtube. Porto wasted chance to reach 1st place
I also expected Braga to beat Benfica in the semifinals after defeating them in the league, but Benfica showed them that they are far better than them this season. I believe it was payback for Benfica elimination of Braga in the Taça da Liga semifinal by scoring three goals, advancing them to the final against Sporting.
However, congratulations to Benfica on winning the Taça da Liga this season. The match was very tough because they were playing Sporting, a strong rival to all opponents in the Portuguese league, and it ended in a 1-1 draw. Gyökeres scored for Sporting from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute of play, and I was hoping that Sporting would win the match after leveling the score because they seemed stronger than Benfica, but sadly, they lost in the penalty shootout.
Furthermore, this is the moment for Sporting to improve in league games; at least, they might be able to win a trophy at the end of the season since Porto, who is competing with them for the league title, is now losing to a club at the bottom of the table.
IMO, it was more or less equal game, nothing surprising that it reached penalty shootout. And penalty shootout was until first and only mistake - only save in whole shootout was made by Trubin which was decisive. However, congratulations to Benfica on winning the Taça da Liga this season.

Braga have a hard time beating any of Portugal's top three teams, incredibly, they managed to beat Benfica in the league, but in the decisive game they lost
Braga's last win against one of the top 3 (besides this one above) was only on 23/01/2024 against Sporting in Taça da Liga SemiFinal
The odds of the final are: Sporting 2.42 Draw 3.35 Benfica 2.80
I thought Porto would qualify and I was wrong
Now I don't have a good opinion of the final, but I'll definitely watch it
My opinion is 50% chance for each, no favorite this time

I think Benfica will win this time.
Despite being different competitions, Benfica will not want to lose to Sporting twice in a row. Especially in a short space of time.
Furthermore, Sporting continues to not play great games, they have managed to win/draw, but with great difficulty.
It's not that Benfica is playing much better, but perhaps they are more motivated to not lose to their rivals again.
Yesterday Benfica had no problems against Braga, game outcome was clear before halftime when score was 3:0. Braga didn't looked like 4th team in league, more like team from relegation zone or even lower division. It's enough to see their stats - just 1 shot in whole game, 0 on target and xG just 0.07.
Final between Sporting and Benfica is already on Saturday.

I never follow Taça da Liga but I just look at the live scores of all the matches every day and look at their statistics. The match between the 4 big Portuguese teams will compete in the semi-finals Sporting vs Porto Both are balanced to determine who will win in this match.
The next match is Benfica vs Braga I prefer Benfica who are in the final and will face Sporting and Porto.
Dude, stop spamming for your signature. Both semifinals were already played and we know who will be in the final. The next match is Benfica vs Braga I prefer Benfica who are in the final and will face Sporting and Porto.

My bets are for Porto and Benfica to qualify for the final
What do you think?
Can Sporting beat Porto and maybe win the Cup, to finally get back to playing as well as they did at the start of the season?

I also think that Porto will reach final - from these 4 clubs they're playing best football now. I also went with BTTS on this game.
And Benfica - I don't believe that they can lose to Braga twice in few days.
Hahaha, I don't know if I'm sad to lose the bet, or happy because Sporting is winning
Gyokeres scored a beautiful goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxwKbfMtp2U

Yeah Manchester United plans was to let Amorim take over after this current season but they were trigger to bring him in this soon because of Eric Ten Hag constant poor performance both in the league and the Europa league. But maybe it was a bad idea because ever since Amorim left for Manchester it has been difficult for him too. Sporting on the other hand are also struggling, even though they are sitting at the top of the league, they should be at least of clear second position by 6 to 7 points. The league is not open and anybody can win it, though I’m giving sporting a higher chance of still winning the league but then it not going to be easy for them . Of course a lot of people will be disappointed especially their fans if sporting don’t win this league, because they were in a very good position to win it. It will be a very big achievement for the entire sporting family but most of all for Rui Borges and his players. I hope they win it.
And the problem could be worse again for Sporting when Amorim actually brought in some Sporting players to strengthen Manchester United, this could be big challenge for Rui Borges because he has to try to restore Sporting strength with changes to the composition of the players.
Benfica couldn't make the most of their chances.Benfica lost at home to Braga and fell behind in the race.If Benfica had won this match they would have been in the lead with a game in hand, but even though they played well against Braga, they were ineffective in front of goal and couldn't find the goals that would bring the win. Braga won with goals in the first half, while the number of shots they took during the match was 2.If Benfica had been able to take advantage of the positions they found, they would definitely have won this match.Although they played better than their opponent, they managed to get into more positions, but luck was not on their side.
........................
waoo this kind of matches are rear to come by as right goals where scored in the game ever since Amorin sporting Lisbon coach left the club and went to Manchester United The club has been left struggling but getting a draw away from home is a good one because Victoria Guimareas is a top club doing great even in Europe this season This is a very dramatic match especially when Sporting had to be behind by one goal in the final minutes of the match. After Amorin's departure, Sporting seemed to be a little shaky and it was difficult for the team to win the match. and I really regret why he left Sporting and chose to handle Man United, even though the opportunity given by Sporting was more promising than Man United, because currently Sporting is competing in the Champions League.
On the other hand, in the standings, Sporting could also lose its place, considering the difference between Sporting and Porto is only one point, which in the meantime, Porto is quite favored because they have one more remaining match compared to Sporting.
After sporting dropped a vital point in the title race I expected benfica to make use of the opportunity as they play Braga at home, but they still fail to win another match and it could be a blow in the title race. You can’t drop points like this when you challenge for the title. They have now fail to pick a point In their last 2 matches. The opportunity now move to Porto, they have their match postponed. I believe Porto will make use of their advantage and too the table. They have been in a good foam lately so winning their match against Gil Vicente will be an easy one.
I still believe sporting are still favorite in winning the league this season. They are not in good foam lately but I’m they will bounce back. Victor Gyokeres will always be the difference. He started the new year with a hattrick already. I still give sporting a 40% chance in winning the title and the remaining 60% is shared between benfica and Porto.

In the match between Sporting CP and Guimaraes, there was a rain of goals in this match, where each team was able to score 4 goals, which made the match end in a draw. In this match, Sporting players were quite overwhelmed, where they defended more than they attacked.
At the beginning of the first half, Sporting impressively managed to score the opening goal exactly 2 minutes after the match started, but not long after in the 7th minute Guimaraes was able to equalize and was followed by a goal from gyokeres in the 14th minute which made Sporting CP superior at the end of the first half. and when the second half started gyokeres again managed to increase the advantage which made Sporting two goals ahead of Guimaraes, he scored a hat trick in this match. And what was unexpected was that Guimaraes managed to penetrate Sporting CP's defense which made Sporting CP have to be left behind by one goal from Guimaraes. But fortunately in the minutes of the match, Sporting was able to equalize.

What an end of game between Vitoria Guimaraes vs Sporting CP we have 8 goals 9 yellow cards full of action match surely what more else we want from soccer while Sporting CP were leading by 1–3 I was sure now they are going to end with win and full three points as we have impressive start of 2025 for Gyokeres he score hat-trick and gave good start.
But, strong comeback by Vitoria Guimaraes in second half and bring themselves to the score of 4–3, but we have last goal from the Trincao in 95th minute which give 1 priceless point to Sporting CP which is now standing at the top of league table with 41 points and Porto is now waiting for completion of their game against Nacional which stopped due to fog in case of win this will give leading position in league table to Porto.
Unbeleavable how Sporting choked having 3:1 lead. First half wasn't bad at all, but 2nd was terrible. Only postivie thing from this game that they managed to score late goal and take at least 1 point. Gyokeres is scoring again, maybe it's not bad sign for Sporting.But, strong comeback by Vitoria Guimaraes in second half and bring themselves to the score of 4–3, but we have last goal from the Trincao in 95th minute which give 1 priceless point to Sporting CP which is now standing at the top of league table with 41 points and Porto is now waiting for completion of their game against Nacional which stopped due to fog in case of win this will give leading position in league table to Porto.
Benfica lost to Braga, it's big upset when you see how Braga were performing recently. And result of this game doesn't fully reflects game - Braga made just 2 shots on target and converted it into 2 goals. But you can't judge if it works.
Sometimes I'm glad I didn't bet, otherwise I would have lost again this round
Sporting drew, Benfica lost to Braga
Porto now have a clear path to beat Nacional, get to 43 points and take the lead, which I think will happen
Unfortunately, Porto's game isn't until the 15th
Sporting couldn't beat Vitória, who in their last 5 games haven't won a game.
I think Sporting's only positive highlight is Gyökeres, who has started scoring goals again and could help the team again in the coming rounds.
I bet a lot of people lost money on this round

I was watching the game and I couldn't stop laughing because of the behavior of Sporting fans here in my country. When Sporting scored 3 goals, they started celebrating as if Sporting had already secured the victory. When Sporting conceded the second goal, I started seeing a lot of complaints from Sporting fans. When the game ended in a draw, Sporting fans got very angry. I confess that I couldn't stop laughing, especially when Guimarães scored the fourth goal. I died laughing. Sporting fans couldn't hide their sadness. It's a shame that the game ended in a draw and not a defeat for Sporting.
