Five things that will happen in World Football this week

The incredible head to head battle at the top of the Primeira Liga

33 points. That’s what it reads at the top of the Primeira Liga for Portugal’s current top three sides. Sporting CP, Porto & Benfica are locked on 33 points at the top of the table, followed by Estoril in 4th place who are some way behind with 24. To make things all the more interesting, Benfica face rivals Porto at home, while 4th placed Estoril host leaders Sporting CP.

It will be Benfica’s first game at home since the death of Legendary footballer, Eusebio, adding all the more spice to an already enthralling fixture. Benfica have that further added incentive now to get all three points, although a Benfica-Porto game never needs added incentive. The race for the title will be as close as ever come the end of the season, but these crucial 6 pointers are what sets the eventual winners apart.

Sporting have turned a corner, drastically, from last season, with a lot of credit to a certain William Carvalho. They will be expecting 3 points on the weekend as Benfica and/or Porto will drop points. Here is a detailed Scout Report on William Carvalho.

The Portuguese league isn’t the most attractive in the World but it does possess some of the best talents in football, technically gifted flair players, as Europe’s top sides continually looked to the Iberian country for personnel. You won’t find a bigger game than Benfica-Porto making this a must watch for the weekend.
