Sporting suffered first loss thisseason, dropped first points in league and there issilence in this thread. Strange. No Amorim, no party? Their new coach João Pereira has almost zero experience as head coach, it's interesting decision of Sporting. And yesterday we saw different face of Sporting - they had ball posession, but so little good chances to score. Santa Clara probably deserved to win and reach sesnational 4th place. And remember that Sporting couldn't offer anything against Arsenal in Champions league few daysago. So, there is some concerns.
Benfica won against Arouca 2:0 and it was hard win, Santa Clara had solid game.

It is obvious that there is no celebration for Sporting in their games without Amorim. João Pereira scored 6 goals against Amarante FC in his debut league game. While a lot of people doubt Amorim is not the only reason for the team's successes this season. Sporting dropped their first league point of the season after the 12 week game result. I don't expect Sporting to struggle to score against Santa Clara because they have outstanding players. Sporting conceded in the first 33 minutes of the game, and I was confident they'd bounce back to make it level and win, but they lost all three points at home.

Since Amorim left the club, we've seen different performances in their games, things aren't as familiar as they were at the start of the season. Sporting lost their first Champions League game of the season to Arsenal, conceding five goals at home, the highest they have conceded this season. They lost their previous two home games, which is quite terrible, currently, Sporting has five points above Benfica.

This first defeat was very beneficial for Benfica and with Benfica win over Arouca closing the points difference, I initially thought Joao Pereira could be worthy coach for Sporting and could lead the team to continue performing well until the end of the season because his first appearance resulted in big win against Amarante FC.
But after these two defeats some people might doubt Joao Pereira performance, plus the rumors about several Sporting core players who will follow Amorim to enter the Manchester United squad could be bad condition for Joao Pereira because he has to face situation that could be quite worrying and difficult for him to build the Sporting team.

SC Farense - Estrela Amadora

After conceding 7 goals in the last game against Benfica, Estrela Amadora comes to this game under pressure because they are very close to the relegation zone and despite their opponent being a team that is in the relegation zone, they will be playing at home and in the last 5 games they have lost only 2 games, this means that the Estrela Amadora team should not underestimate the opponent. I hope that the Estrela Amadora coach has improved the performance of the defense after they conceded 7 goals in the game against Benfica in the Portuguese Cup game.

injured players

Farense: Tomane, Filipe Soares

Estrela Amadora: Bruno Brigido

My guess: both teams score

Benfica was in their ruthless mode yesterday as they thrashed Estrela Amadora 7:0 in their Portuguese league game. The scoreline was a very impressive one but what I think was more impressive was Angel Di Maria's hattrick in the game which he managed to score in the first 17 minutes of the game. The 36-year-old former Argentina international once again reminded all who's forgotten about his qualities of how lethal he can be with the ball on his feet. Incredible performance I must say.



It seems like we saw a lot of goals scored in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup. Some time ago we saw Sporting CP without their great coach Ruben Amorin, Sporting CP was still able to perform well and destroy Amarante FC with a landslide score of 6-0. And now we are shown an extraordinary result between SL Benfica and Astrela Amadora, where in that match Benfica brutally destroyed Amadora with a landslide score of 7-0. And sure enough, the extraordinary thing in that match was when we saw the old player A. Di Maria who only needed less than 20 minutes to score three goals against Amadora. A hattrick was created in that match, and no one expected that the 36-year-old player would do it. Many people began to doubt his ability, but A Di Maria proved his sharpness in this match.

We have biggest upset in Portuguese cup so far. Reigning champions Porto were eliminated by Moreirense. Porto took a lead  first, but Moreirense managed to respond with 2 goals. Difficultto share deep insights without watching match in full and when Flashscore or Sofascore doesn't even shows stats of this game.

Everywhere there are Porto fans, they are commenting angrily about this game, asking for the coach to be fired. Here in my country, there are many Porto fans and they are complaining about this coach. But this was predictable. I even commented to some of them that the new Porto management made a serious mistake by dismissing Sergio Conceição. He could have had some bad behavior, but he was an ideal coach for Porto. Now the new Porto management will have to deal with many complaints from the fans, and this will only get worse, because I highly doubt that Porto will be able to do well in all the upcoming Portuguese league games. This elimination is the beginning of a big disaster for the new Porto management.

But is there any good reason to fire the coach when he achieved to win 9 out of 11 games... I think they are exaggerating and it only looks like a suboptimal season because because Sporting Lisbon wins it all. Of course any team looks worse when there is one team going at a 100% record in a season. Everything in the Premier League looks so bad for most teams because it looks so great for Liverpool. It does at least feel wrong when a coach is supposed to get fired with that record. It is not like they are going through a crisis.

Age is just a number for such players. You expect him to perform badly because he is 36 years old, but he comes out and scores 3 goals in 16-17 minutes. Angel di María is a true football legend. Benfica, on the other hand, intimidated their opponents with their seven-goal victory. Sporting Lisbon's clear superiority continues in the league. We can all see Benfica's desire to get close to them.

These people who are following Portuguese football didn't forgot about Di Maria and that he can make such performances. And I'm glad that in late phase of his career he didn't decided to go to Saudi Arabia, MLS or other retirement league, but continue to play on high level in Europe.

Braga is surely good team and things were good in first half for them as they take good lead of 2 goals but in second half we have strong reaction from the Sporting CP as they score 4 goals and increase their winning streak in League games by 11 which is good advantage for them while they have no challenge.

Yes, Braga is good and consistent team because every season they always finish the league in the top 4 or top 3 and they are team that is able to enliven the competition because they often make it difficult for some of the top team here.
After the defeat against Sporting, Braga had to occupy 5th place for the temporary standings, but then they will compete in two other competitions, namely Taca de Portugal against Leixoes and the Europa League against Hoffenheim, I think this is pretty interesting match.

I have the feeling that more than half of the last goals conceded by Benfica were due to Otamendi's mistakes. I'm not saying that he's a bad player, I just think he needs a break, a few rest games to get back into shape. He didn't have any holidays this year, and that's not easy for a player his age.
I have quite similar memories about Otamendi when he played in Man City. In general he is high level defender, but sometimes he just makes such mistakes. And now when he isalready 36 years it's already getting more difficult to play like in his prime and mistakes is getting more frequent.

If you look at how successful Ruben Amorin's coaching track record is, when he moved to MU, the big hope to bring MU back to its glory days was certainly focused on Ruben Amorin. And the signs of the Red Devils' revival were marked by Ruud who had found a strategy and rhythm of play that was suitable for the Red Devils, which slowly brought MU back to winning ways. And if only the presence of Amorin and Ruud who accompanied him could be an extraordinary collaboration, then it is quite possible that MU will return to being a respected club and compete at the top again.
It's already getting a bit off-topic, butthere was similar hopes about Ten Haag after people looked what he achieved with Ajax. MU after Fergusson is just such difficult club for coaches.

It was a very easy victory for Sporting. I expected Sporting to have difficulties in this game because Braga is a problematic team, but Rúben Amorim showed that he is a great coach. This was his last game for Sporting. I still don't know who will be the coach capable of continuing the good results that Rúben Amorim managed to obtain at Sporting. Honestly, it is difficult to imagine that with Rúben Amorim's departure, Sporting will become champions.
Easy win? Did we watched same game? How it can be easy when you're down 0:2 at halftime and took a lead only on 89th minute. Sporting keeps perfect record in Portugal, but it will be interesting how they will without Amorim. While Braga, they way how they choked shows while they're always 4th.
What was easy is Benfica win against Porto. Didn't expected that game will end 4:1. And that only goal scored by Porto, not that they created great moment, it's more about no communication between Trubin and Otamendi who will take ball.
From start of the game, things were completely under control of Sporting CP as they were doing good job, but their conversation in first half was not good which create some problems for them but in second half we have good change of strategy for them which helps them for having 4 goals even their star player Gyokeres fail to produce any action in last game of Ruben Amoriom with them, but good thing happen Sporting is still undefeated in 11 games, and now they are clearly going to have good advantage.

39 goals scored and conceded only 5 goals are surely not easy thing which is happening in this season with Porto is also surely now good challenger but it's never been easy for them to overtake and have any solid chance because Sporting CP is currently well-balanced with Ruben Amorim done good work during his stay here in last few years for this club.

Sporting beating Braga I thought was a “predictable” result, even though Braga are a good team, Sporting are at their peak
But Porto losing to Benfica like that was a big surprise. I thought a draw would be a more normal result

It was one game to forget, with penalties, mistakes, own goal, 4 goals conceded...
Now Sporting are more comfortable leading by 6 points

It's a good thing I didn't bet on this matchday, I thought it would be difficult to predict the results and I'd lose the bet

In second game, Benfica after having change of coach improving which is good sign in coming days we will have them at the second spot while Porto is now after 2 defeats need to improve their defense because they conceded 8 goals which are most in top 3 teams even their attack is also good, but things are not favourable for them while they are trying to stay in hunt for catching Sporting CP at the top or staying into top 2 spots which is surely not easy while we have good comeback by Benfica which is now good with new coach and change of their game, but they needed to be had some improvement in Champions League.

Manchester United is a team that has had many good coaches in recent years and none of them managed to win the Premier League and they didn't get far in the European Champions League. The pressure that Ruben Amorin will suffer at Manchester United will be very high and I honestly think he shouldn't have risked going to Manchester United. With his going to Manchester United the chances of destroying his good image are very high.
No doubts about that. There'd be so much expectations on Ruben Amorim from the fans to be able to wave his magic wand a d turn Man UTD into the club every team will fear that I feel will be too much on him that would make him not deliver his best. Anyways, Van Nistelrooy has been able to bring some spark back to the club so maybe Ruben wouldn't have much work to do and I wish that he would keep Nistelrooy as his assistant because the two of them working together and sharing ideas could restore the glory back for United.
 Man United are in the Europa and some other domestic competitions and so many fans will be hoping that Ruben Amorim will be able to help them win some trophies so the Portuguese really has a lot on his plate.

Although the final result was indeed as expected with Sporting's victory. However, with Braga leading 2-0 at the end of the first half, the pressure on Sporting increased, especially when they were in top form and were favored to win. This situation certainly added to the tension, because Sporting had to work extra hard to turn things around. This moment also reminds us that in football, team performance can change quickly, and even the favored team is not always safe from pressure throughout the match.

Well I just watched the first half that ended 2-0 for Braga and I did not expect for Sporting Lisbon to come back so strongly with only 45 minutes to play. What surprised me more is that Braga conceded 3 goals in the last ten minutes of the game and that says a lot about them having already thought to have won the game, in such encounters it is the team with the strongest desire and experience that wins in the end and that is exactly what happened yesterday night.
