Benfica
Benfica led the championship for a long time, not letting Porto to be ahead of them. However, the unsuccessful series eliminated that handicap which was gained by the “Eagles” in the first round. The Lisbon grand won only once in the last five games. In the two previous rounds, the team of Bruno Laga played draws with Moreirense and Vitoria Setubal with the same 1:1 score. However, Benfica is still one of the top contenders for leadership in the championship. The “Eagles” have the best attack performance in the competition (52 goals). At the same time, two players of the team (Pizzi and Vinisius) are the best scorers of the League — 30 kicked goals for two.
