Today Sporting will play against Boavista, this is a game in which Sporting needs to win to at least have a chance of fighting for the title, Boavista is not a very strong opponent and in the last few games they have had a great performance, in the last 5 games they have had only one victory. Knowing that Sporting will play at home, I think that at least in this game Sporting can come out with a victory. But if Sporting loses points in today's game, then I very much doubt that they will be able to at least finish in the 3rd position.

The opponent that Sporting CP will face in this match is an opponent that is at the bottom of the standings, so this should be a fairly easy match for Sporting CP to win. However, even so, for some reason I feel quite pessimistic that Sporting will be able to win quite easily in this match. With a narrow score when facing Boavista, maybe that's what will happen.

and the game ended:

and in my opinion it was a game that showed that Sporting is no longer the strong team it was during Amorin's time. I think that started to be visible in the first game after Amorin's departure, but with each Sporting game we have more confirmation of this and the question I ask myself is the following: will Sporting's current coach continue in the position after the end of this season if they are not champions? And if the current Sporting coach does not continue in the position next season, then who could they hire who would do a good job like the work that Amorin did?

What a scrappy win for sporting, I knew it was going to be tough Match but no in this way. Sporting might probably continue to struggle till the end of season. I don't even know if the players mentality has changed or It the new coach who is currently struggling to play them the way he is suppose to. From the formation he his using so far it the same with what Amorim was using so I don't know why they are still struggling. Maybe the new coach might be getting it all wrong in the dressing room, almost every player in sporting are currently struggling, few weeks back sportewere scoring for fun and defending so well but in both aspect now they are struggling so bad and have conceded over a dozen goals in all competitions since Amorim left. I think they should have waited till the end of season before allowing Amorim join Manchester united. With the Way this sporting is playing currently I don't see them winning the Portuguese league this sesosn unless we some improvement in upcoming games.

On the other hand, the match has ended between Moreirense and C.D Nacional. And the unexpected thing in this match, even though the standings of the two clubs are very far apart, C.D Nacional managed to dominate the attack and scored one goal against Moreirense, and that was the only goal scored in this match. The score ended 1-0 and C.D Nacional managed to emerge as the winner.

Incidentally, I didn't have time to watch the game but the result was quite a surprise. A team down at the bottom of the table, CD Nacional, managed to apply some pressure and beat a team that was considerably higher above them placed. Just shows that football is a game and what you see on paper does not always correspond to the actual events on the field. Anything can happen when the team at the bottom plays with high motivation and a proper strategy. It could well happen in this game Sporting CP and Boavista, just getting underway now, too if Boavista were to play strongly and seize upon chances as well, they could just spring a similar surprise....

Matches of this nature make football even more interesting. In point of fact, no one can really predict the final result with certainty, and this is the reason why many fans remain loyal to watch even though their favorite team is facing a team that is considered "weaker."

Despite how bad Sporting is performing, I still don't scenario where they lose against one of worst teams in league. If they will loses somehwo, then I already don't know what to say about them. But even if they will win. But achieving big win doesn't means that things got improved. Because with all respect, Boavista is just too weak team to be some kind of indicator.

Sporting are currently dominating the league, although they haven't had very good results recently, but I'm sure they can get 3 points in their home match this time. Boavista isn't a strong team, and for that reason, even if Sporting perform less well in this upcoming match, they can still get a result of at least 1 - 0 or 2 - 0. This is a reasonable result for them, BTW do you think Boavista can beat Sporting?

After Ruben Amorim left Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon was met with poor results. It means that the manager has a very important place in the team. Now Benfica has one game left and is two points behind Sporting Lisbon. Sporting Lisbon has suffered two defeats and has not yet drawn. Benfica won their last game with a goal from Kerem Aktürkoğlu and gained three points. Benfica turned out to be the most profitable team because they drew in Porto this week.

Benfica are really utilising the opportunity being given them by the flip flops of sporting Lisbon who are currently struggling as a result of the departure of their former manager Reuben Amorin. It's seems like there is going to be a close race in the Portuguese league because Benfica seem to be closing in on sporting club and might end up over taking sporting Lisbon if they fail to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.

Sporting have lost 4 times in a row, 2 times in the Champions League, and 2 times in the Portuguese League. These bad results certainly show that Sporting is not in good condition. Sporting must immediately recover from defeat and return to winning ways.

However, even though they have experienced a series of defeats, fortunately they have collected many points so that 2 consecutive defeats in the Champions League did not make the team temporarily leave the 25th position in the standings. They still have hope to advance to the next round in the play-off round. Likewise regarding the two consecutive defeats that Sporting experienced in the domestic league, where they are still at the top. But as you said that no matter how to maintain the top position, Sporting must be able to get full points when facing Boavista, because if they fail, their position will immediately be shifted by Benfica.

Isn't this still the same as last season, Benfica and Porto were just in their comfort zone without any improvement in performance, in the 2021/2022 season Porto became champions and in the 2022/23 season Benfica won the League but after that they showed decline and performance that had no improvement at all.
This season if it continues like that then Sporting chances are quite big to retain the title even though they have lost Amorim, coach who has made many changes, it just that Benfica and Porto still have the opportunity to compete because there are still many match ahead and no one knows who here will be the most consistent and stable.

Benfica is now on rampage they can overtake easily to Sporting with Porto could be also challengeable for the Sporting to keep themselves at top two while after departure of Ruben Amorim they have four games all loses they conceded 10 goals and score only 3 goals which is huge change, and surely it's wired as well because some players, but their motivation is changed, and now they are feeling badly down they need to keep energy as things could be more problematic if they fail to have any positive change in coming weeks while they are going to face big clubs in Liga Portugal.

Even I am sure we will be having same trio at the top, but now I have strong feeling we will be having Benfica as toughest team for their opponents, and they can go through for the win of another title if we have no quick changes in Sporting approach.

Before Ruben Amorim departed Sporting, they were flying high in the league which made many conclude they were going to win the the Portuguese title at the end of the season but after his departure, the club's form have dropped significantly and that's why there's a serious doubt about the possibility of Sporting becoming Portuguese champions at their end of the season.
Sporting is currently leading the league table with 33 points which is two points better than second placed Benfica but have played a game more than Benfica and that means that if Benfica wins their outstanding game, they'll overtake the current league leaders. At the moment, I think Benfica have more probability rate of winning the league this season

Sporting season is really turning from the perfect season to the worst, before Amorim left there were the best club in Portugal but right now about everybody is beating sporting, they have now lost four consecutive matches in all competitions and even today they play against boavista and you can't still say for sure if they can win it today. I know sporting should of course blow boavista out of the way today but that was exactly the same thing we expected against moreirense but they lost the match.

Sporting desperately need a win and today seems to be the perfect day to get them back to their winning ways, they are playing at home to a side that is currently struggling so I think it should be an easy win for them. Victor Gyokeres can be the man who would make the difference today though his foam has dropped Abit but I think he would score today and put his side right back where they want to be.

Despite the victory, Benfica also showed some signs of weakness. It's true that a victory helps to overcome a poor performance, but Benfica still needs to improve its performances.

Porto, on the other hand, is really in a very low form, at the moment I can't say if the problem is the coach or the squad.

In the case of Sporting, it is clear that the team is missing Amorim. Will they really be able to get over his departure?

Good question
Sometimes even I can't fully understand soccer
The team was supposed to play the same as it did under Amorim, just continuing the work, with the same formation and the same players.
But that's not the case, inexplicably all the players have dropped in production, the team isn't playing like it was before
Every coach needs a bit of time for his work to be satisfactory, and I hope he can at least recover for the next game against Club de Brugge so as not to prejudice the UCL campaign

Looks like the league will be interesting again hehehe with Sporting, Benfica and Porto fighting again
Anyone here is losing bets with Sporting? Cheesy

Yeah, Benfica had very poor performance at home against Guimaraes, I expected that they will have easy win. But maybe that was just one poor game, before it Benfica performed well. Most important that they still got 3 points playing so poor.
What can't be said about Porto. They won just 1 from their recent 6 games in all competitions. Their from looks not less concerning than Sporting.
Sporting situation is all about coach. I'm not really sure how they decided that Pereira, guy with almost zero experience can be good replacement for Amorim

In my opinion, I prefer the current Benfica. They may not be playing that beautiful football, but they are being very effective in scoring at least one goal and coming out of the game with a victory. Because that Benfica of the past, I'm talking about the last two seasons for example, played beautifully, wasted good opportunities and lost and as a result did not win the league. In good football, what matters is winning titles.

Regarding Porto, in my opinion, the problem lies with the coach and the squad. It seems that the board does not have many funds to make big signings, so with Sergio Conceição, Porto could at least win even with limited financial conditions. But this new management didn't want Sergio Conceição and hired another coach and it seems to me that this current Porto coach will stay in the position even if he doesn't achieve anything

About Sporting, I think it was expected that with the coach's departure the team would become weaker than before he arrived at Sporting

Well, today Sporting will play against Moreirense, who in the last 5 games won 3 games and lost 2 games. Moreirense will play at home. In the last games Moreirense has done very well when they play at home, even when they played against big teams like Benfica and Porto, Moreirense did not lose against Benfica and Porto. So I see that for today's game, Moreirense will win or draw. The problem is that if Sporting loses or draws today, then in a few rounds we will see Porto and Benfica surpassing Sporting in the table. In my opinion Benfica or Porto will be champions and Sporting will finish in third place and in the next seasons I very much doubt that Sporting will become champions.

Match ended as you said with stunning performance from Moreirense that have made them beat Sporting and if there had been no penalty maybe Sporting would not have had that one goal, it just that this week no one has been able to take over the top of the standings occupied by Sporting.
Who knows what the next round will be like Sporting went through, they made the fans feel disappointed and skeptical about the belief that Sporting could win the title if their performance was continuous like this.
Sporting two consecutive defeats will be big loss for them in the future because their position is no longer safe.

How quickly things change Shocked

Until a few days ago several users said that Sporting were already the champions of this season and that nothing would take the title away from them

This is Sporting's third defeat in a row since the coach's departure
It's amazing what a difference it makes to a team that's performing well.

Don't be surprised if Sporting don't even make the top three this season, I've seen the same pattern in the Brazilian league.

Since Braga is a very unstable team, I think that Sporting will at least be lucky enough to benefit from Braga's instability and may be able to finish in second place. Now, if Sporting loses in the next game against Boavista, then loses against Gil Vicente, then loses against Benfica, then Sporting will finish in 5th or 6th place. I know many Sporting fans who in the past would cry every time Sporting lost, but when Amorim started winning the Portuguese League, those Sporting fans were very confident and always laughing, now they are crying again. Grin

Braga 2 - 2 Estoril

It was a game with a lot of penalties, I expected Braga to win, because they scored 2 goals and all they needed to do was focus on defense, but it's unbelievable that Estoril scored 2 goals and tied the game.
