The point gap between Porto and Sporting is six at the moment and there are only five weeks to go for the end of the season. Sporting are going to just hope for Porto to lose in their tough games remaining. Those games are against Benfica and Braga both away. However Sporting have a game against Benfica in four days also. It is a home game for Sporting and I'm not expecting a huge mistake here. Benfica are already out of the title race now and Sporting must take advantage of this somehow.
Yes, in fact, if Porto doesn't lose the game, this is going to get very interesting, because once and for all we would have a chain reaction with Sporting, what remains is nothing, 5 games or 6 football games is an announced final, everything they do for their teams will put them on top, now if we take into account that Sporting also wins, another scenario would be set, I think that Benfica can hurt both teams if they put their minds to it, and Benfica as well It has history to do it, what happens is that right now for life reasons I don't know how much it affected them that they turned out so badly, but now it's getting better.
At this point of the league, there is no way Sporting are performing a miracle anymore. A gap of nine points is a really difficult one to close up indeed. Sporting prepared their end by themselves I believe. Because they lost many points in the games they should have been able to win. And they did the same against Benfica the last time. Benfica had no chance for the title anymore actually but Sporting were still defeated by them. Porto are getting close to a completely deserved title.
Yes, I know that the numbers don't favor Sporting much, but come on, I think Sporting can still do a lot, even though Porto is almost certain of this championship, many things can still happen, and this is what makes this tournament more exciting. football, can you imagine that all this falls and they recover? how could it be? technically it can happen, of course eventualities make it look very difficult, but seeing a series of soccer championships from many leagues in the world, just making an analogy with Barcelona and the Europa League is something that nobody expected...
