Sorry, the title is not going to be for neither Benfica nor FC Porto this season because Sporting Lisbon would win the league and take the title. To know the club that would be the winner of a league can easily be known sometimes but not most times. This season is another reason of the sometimes. Also let us see Benfica perform good in two or three other matches before we conclude but Benfica played better and excellently in the match against Santa Clara. Hehehe, it's too early to draw any conclusions as to who will be champions, as only five matches have been played But Sporting are the favorites I agree, the continuation of last season's work is very good, with Gyökeres scoring a lot of goals right from the start We have to remember that Sporting will be playing in the Champions League, and it could be very difficult for the team, theoretically the opponents will be tougher and there could be some fatigue from the round of 16 onwards But again, it was a nice start of Sporting in UCL too  Benfica's new coach is off to a great start. With this crushing victory against an opponent that wasn't very open, Benfica fans are starting to have hope that they can dream of the title. But with Sporting, who seem to have goal-scoring machines, it's hard for a Benfica fan like me to think that we can win the title.

Also let us see Benfica perform good in two or three other matches before we conclude but Benfica played better and excellently in the match against Santa Clara.In another game, we have defeat for the Braga with the score of 0–2 as in second half we have red-card which bring more mess-up and things gone from bad to worse now in last 2 games they are having no goal score 2 goals concede mean situation is clearly not favourable for them to have top three spots in near future. Benfica 4 - 1 Santa Clara Benfica's new coach is off to a great start. With this crushing victory against an opponent that wasn't very open, Benfica fans are starting to have hope that they can dream of the title. But with Sporting, who seem to have goal-scoring machines, it's hard for a Benfica fan like me to think that we can win the title. Sporting managed to score 19 goals in 5 games, that's scary. Benfica will need to win at least a few more games to convince me to bet on them again. Benfica managed to get 3 more points at home, with this gain Benfica still can't get into the top 3 because currently they are in 5th place with 10 points, there is Famalicao with the same number of points and a distance of 2 points from Porto and Vitoria SC. To be able to compete with Sporting, I think it's quite difficult, because currently Sporting is at their highest motivation to win back the Portuguese League title, talking about the match against Santa Clara, I was surprised that Angel Di Maria was still able to cook there with 1 goal  .

Benfica's new Turkish transfer Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a goal in his first match. Thanks to the cooperation of the two Turks, Benfica took a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute of the match. Orkun Kökçü made the assist and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored the goal. I hope these two players will continue to score goals and assists. Turkish fans will follow Benfica more closely because of these two players. Also, Benfica may want to sign more Turkish players because of these two successful players. Portuguese teams are a gateway for the Premier League. Footballers who are successful in the Portuguese League receive more transfer offers. If Kerem Aktürkoğlu continues to score goals and provide assists for a few more weeks, he can become an indispensable part of the team and receive transfer offers from bigger teams in Europe. In his last 3 seasons in Turkiye, he finished with an average of 10 goals & 10 assists. I believe he can do the same in the Portuguese League. Benfica 4 - 1 Santa Clara Bernfica's win was vey confident, despite that they conceded very early goal on 1st minute, it didn't ruined their game plan. What can't be said about Porto - they scored a goal against Santa Clara, but concededfreom them just after few minutes. They struggled a bit to convert their chances and won just 2:1 Benfica's new coach is off to a great start.

Benfica 4 - 1 Santa Clara Roger Schmidt have been Benfica's manager since May 2022 so it's absolutely confusing to see you address the German a new manager of the Benfica. That being said, Benfica's result against Santa Clara yesterday was impressive and a good way to prepare for their next game which will a visit to Serbian club FK Crvena zvezda in the UEFA Champions League competition.

Benfica will need to win at least a few more games to convince me to bet on them again.  Benfica's next game will be in the European Champions League, and it will be away from home, but the opponent is not from a very strong league, but they have managed to score a lot of goals in some games. I hope Benfica can also win, because it would be great if they had a good performance in European competitions. Benfica's next opponents in the Portuguese League are also not strong opponents, so at least Benfica can win the next 5 games in the Portuguese League.

Sporting widening the gape at the top with having 5 wins from their 5 games no other team is having perfect start of their campaign Porto after losing last game now having challenging time as they are hosting SC Farense after 70 minutes game we are having 1–1 which is surely not good as we have quality difference between these two sides.
Now we have few minutes left in the game while after this we have Braga vs Vitoria Guimaraes another interesting game which can bring Braga to the second spot in case of win but now can Porto score another goal its interesting situation for them with Benfica is also improving and having good win with this now they are at the fourth spot in league table their new signings are doing good work for them with new coach bring good result. Benfica's new Turkish transfer Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a goal in his first match. Thanks to the cooperation of the two Turks, Benfica took a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute of the match. Orkun Kökçü made the assist and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored the goal. I hope these two players will continue to score goals and assists. Benfica did not take the lead with this goal. Benfica equalized 1-1 with this goal. Santa Clara had taken the lead in the first minute through Vinicius Lopes... Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored a really elegant goal. He was not in an easy and clear position, but he made a great one-touch and equalized the match. He stayed on the pitch for 73 minutes and when he was substituted he received the applause of the Benfica fans. Galatasaray fans had always criticized him mercilessly. I think Benfica fans will give him the respect he deserves...

Marvelous performance by Sporting until now! 5 wins in 5 games. 19 goals scored and only 2 conceded. These are indeed spectacular stats pointing to a big victory at the end of the season. But the question is: Will they stay this consistent all the time?
 It is difficult to be sure of the answer for it. But I think it is no. Because it isn't a very common thing to be seen in European leagues you know. We have seen Leverkusen example lately but not many more of it in these years. The biggest reason behind my thinking about Sporting is that they have a very busy schedule after the new format of the Champions League. Sporting CP is leading by a lone goal at half time. It does not come to me as a surprise because Sporting is in pretty great shape and should easily win Arouca irrespective of them being at away. This weekend I expected all big sides such as Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting to win their matches. This season will see the toughest competition in the Liga Portugal. But I'm tipping Sporting CP to win the title but that I will not commit any serious money to. Sporting will definitely win the match. Ball possession was 65 to 35. Shorts on goal was 7 to 2. In 62 minutes, Viktor Gyökeres scored and in 80 minutes Francisco Trincao scored with Daniel Braganca assist. It is now 3 goals. It is 90 minutes with 6 minutes extra time now. I think the extra time is going to 10 minutes. Sporting played 5 matches with neither draw nor loss.Of course because for the Portuguese League itself only Sporting, Benfica and Porto always dominate, for the title acquisition also these three team have the most titles although the top is still held by Benfica with 38 times then Porto 30 times and followed by Sporting with 20 championship titles. Yes, I know that too, even if we include second place, those three teams also have a lot of achievements in that position. Benfica has been runner-up 30 times, Porto 29 times and Sporting CP 22 times. Recent seasons have been a moment of revival for Sporting, whatever achievements Sporting will get this season depends on how Gyokeres performs, he's one of the best strikers in Europe now. Arouca is Sporting's next opponent, this team is weak because they only have 1 win in the 4 matches they have played, Sporting can definitely get another 3 points to complete their 5 consecutive wins.Last season Sporting won the title and this season they started the competition very well, it is likely that we will still be able to see Sporting to defend the title if Benfica and Porto return to performing like last season which showed several failures to achieve more wins. Sporting preparation for this new season is also quite good and they have been able to compete more competently, we'll just see what Sporting can show in the future, I think they are the favorites for this season. Sporting managed to win today against Arouca with big score of 3 goal without reply and in this match Sporting game was really extraordinary in dominating the game and also many opportunities in the attack efforts they made to attack Arouca defense until it looked very messy. At the beginning of this season Sporting game was very good and they always had a percentage of more than 70% in the chance of winning, there have been 5 matches with total of wins and now Sporting is leading the standings with 15 points, hopefully this will be good start for them. Gyokeres also played very well, but unfortunately we only saw him create goals with the penalties they got, I agree that Gyokeres is great striker and in 5 matches Sporting also showed that he gave 8 goal with 1 assist. Sporting CP is leading by a lone goal at half time. It does not come to me as a surprise because Sporting is in pretty great shape and should easily win Arouca irrespective of them being at away.

Woah! Sporting has made a magnificent start to the season. 4 wins in 4 matches, 16 goals scored and only 2 conceded... It must be like a dream for the fans from which they would never like to wake up.Gyökeres is absolutely on fire! 7 goals in 4 matches is just very impressive stats. I can't believe how Arsenal gave up on this signing.  A real striker was what they needed and they missed a pure scorer like him.Who knows how much he will increase his value this season. Maybe Sporting won't let him go less than 100m euros. It is early stages in the season maybe but I believe Sporting have the biggest chance for the trophy with this effort. Yes, Sporting have really started the season with a bang. And as for Arsenal, they may wish to have taken interest in him more seriously. If he continues to play this way his value upon transfer will balloon for sure, and of course, Sporting probably will not let him go cheap. And, of course, if Gyökeres continues in this vein -then his asking price might reach eye-watering levels, which is very plausible in today's transfer market whereby player valuations can skyrocket very quickly. They might see him as a long-term asset if he helps them win some trophies. It is, of course, very early in the season, but momentum at this stage would be welcome for confidence within the team and from players. Fans will want to believe that this is not just a good start but the sign of a great season to unravel later. If Sporting can keep up this kind of performance, they will win not only domestic silverware but have a surprise package for Europe as well. Naturally, retaining Gyökeres is vital to all those ambitions.
tomorrow's game:
FC Arouca - Sporting CP Sporting will go to the Municipal Stadium of Arouca to play against Arouca, who have only won 1 of their 4 games. Sporting is having an excellent campaign, having not lost yet, 4 games and 4 wins. The most incredible thing is that Sporting has scored 16 goals in just 4 games. Sporting's attack is very strong. From what I heard, Sporting's only injured players are: Jerry St. Juste (thigh), Diogo Pinto (ankle) and Vladan Kovacevic (ankle). Arouca has the following injured players: Kouassi Eboue (muscle complaints), Quaresma Correia (muscle complaints), Nino Galovic (knee) and Jose Fontan (hamstring). Arouca possible starting lineup: Mantl; Esgaio, Rocha, Lamba, Weverson; Simao, Fukui; Sylla, Gozalbez, Jason; Araujo Sporting Lisbon possible starting lineup: Franco; Quaresma, Diomande, Inacio; Quenda, Morita, Hjulmand, Catamo; Trincao, Goncalves; Gyokeres My Guess: sporting will win easily Sporting president Varandas on Viktor Gyökeres: “To be honest, I've seen inferior players being transferred above €100m, big players below €100m”. “Viktor is happy here. During the market, there was not a day without news saying that Viktor was leaving!”, told Record. source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1834245616269942817 I hope Sporting doesn't sell Viktor Gyökeres so soon, Sporting needs to be able to go far in European competitions Jump to:
