The Portuguese Primeira Liga title race is wide open: Sporting CP -800 / Benfica +500

Portuguese Primeira Liga Analysis

Sporting CP a Heavy Chalk to Win the Championship

Traditional Primeira Liga contenders FC Porto and Braga both show 59 points compared to Sporting CP’s 74. It’s impossible for Porto or Braga to catch the standing’s leader.

Also, like all UEFA Leagues, the Portuguese Primeira Liga doesn’t have a playoffs, which means the only team that can catch Sporting CP is Benfica. A look at Sporting CP’s final few games and it’s obvious why oddsmakers have made them the -800 favorite.

vs Guimares on April 21
at FC Porto on April 28
vs Portimonense on May 5
at Estoril on May 12
vs GD Chaves on May 19

Only FC Porto should pose a challenge to Sporting CP winning out. Estoril might play Sporting CP tough. However, right now, Estoril shows 16 losses and 29 points. If Sporting CP wins out, they take the title.

Benfica Offering Decent Odds to Get It Done

The one thing about Benfica this season is that they’ve played terrific soccer. However, Benfica is 4 points behind Sporting CP with 70 compared to their rival’s 74.

Benfica must hope to win out and that Sporting CP loses to FC Porto on April 28. If that happens, Benfica still isn’t clear to win the title. Benfica must also hope that Sporting CP suffers a draw at some point in their final few games.

Before discussing further, check out Benfica’s final schedule in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

at FC Farense on April 22
vs Braga on April 27
at FC Famalicao on May 5
vs Arouca on May 12
at Rio Ave on May 19

Like Sporting CP, Benfica has a single tough matchup the rest of the way, versus Braga at home on April 27. If Benfica can beat Braga on their pitch and doesn’t draw, they will keep pace with Sporting CP because wins over Arouca, Rio Ave, Famalicao, and Farense should all but be assured.

Benfica or Sporting CP to Win the Primeira Liga Title? | Final Betting Analysis

The Portuguese Primeira Liga final stretch is a two-team match race between Benfica and Sporting CP. Based on the schedules, Benfica doesn’t have a great shot of catching Sporting CP.

However, Benfica’s odds require at least a consideration to make a run at their rivals. Sporting CP has played great this season, but the win over FC Porto isn’t a sure thing. Even drawing versus Porto will be difficult.

So if Sporting CP loses to FC Porto, and Benfica beats Braga, the +500 dog will be a point behind Sporting CP for the lead. Then it’s a matter of whether Sporting CP picks it up in their final few games or not. A draw could be all it takes for Benfica to overtake their rivals.

Give Benfica a chance. The odds make Benfica more than playable to take advantage of a potential Sporting CP implosion and win the Portuguese Primeira Liga trophy.
