The current season of the Portuguese Primeira League began on August 5, 2022, and will end on May 28, 2023. During this period of time, 18 participants of the tournament from 15 cities will play 34 rounds. At the end of the championship, the title of champion of Portugal will be awarded to the club with the most points.
The four main favorites in the elite football championship of Portugal, according to bookmakers, looks like this: Benfica, Porto, Braga, Sporting. By carefully studying each of the teams, you can most likely predict which of them will get the championship title.
Benfica
The guys of Roger Schmidt exemplary started in the Portuguese championship this season. After 11 rounds of the championship, the “glorious” scored 31 points out of 33 possible. Having won 10 victories, the Eagles only once drew away with Guimarães. It should also be noted that by this segment of the tournament, the Reds had the best attack and defense in the league. On average, Nicolas Otamendi and partners scored almost three goals per game, and conceded one goal in two matches.
Benfiquistas last won the league title in the 2018/2019 season. Given the current form and a good gap between the Lisbon club and the pursuers, the Eagles are quite able to get the 38th domestic championship gold in history. A bet on Benfica can be made through the yuklab olish application from the Mostbet.
Porto
After 11 rounds of the Primeira League, the Dragons were behind Braga and Benfica. And if the “gunsmiths” “portistas” were inferior only by two test points, then the gap between the “eagles” was an impressive eight points. In the October segment, Porto lost at home to Benfica and tied away with Santa Clara. Earlier, the brainchild of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa signed a world match with Estoril and turned out to be weaker than Rio Ave.
It’s too early to say that the Blue-Whites have lost the title race. However, given the form of the wards of Sergio Conceição and the backlog of the “dragons”, it will be extremely difficult for Pepe and partners to compete for gold medals.
Braga
Arthur Jorge’s team is quite regularly gaining points. Moreover, if not for two defeats in a row from Porto and Chaves, Braga would be much closer to Benfica. Playing well in attack, the “archbishops” do not act in the best way near their gates. There is still quite a long distance ahead, but at the same time, the “Minyu warriors” are likely to continue to make mistakes. Therefore, the backlog of the offspring of António Salvador from the “glorious”, with a high probability, will increase, not decrease.
Representatives of the city of the same name are able to aim for “silver” or “bronze”, but the “gunsmiths” will not be able to get gold medals.
Sporting
The Green-Whites look extremely insecure this season, both in the international and domestic arena. The Lisbon club was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, although it made it to the playoffs of the LE. In the championship of Portugal, Sporting started disgustingly. By the 11th round, the Lions had six wins, four losses and one draw. The defeat from Porto is still understandable, but the misfires with Chaves, Boavista and Aroca are sensational.
Given the disgusting form of the “lions”, the backlog of the “green-whites” from Benfica will be almost impossible to win back. But the guys of Ruben Amorim should have chances to get into the top three.
Our forecast
Benfica looks confident and can even afford a few misfires, provided that the competitors do not regularly score points. To date, the leadership of the “Eagles” seems unshakable and it is the “Reds” who should get gold medals. In the fight for silver, due to experience, Porto can win. At the same time, the “bronze” will most likely go to Braga, but the “lions” from Lisbon will try to take away the third place from the “gunsmiths”.
