This week things get ugly in the Primeira Liga as the season nears it's climax!

Benfica scrape past Chaves despite missing 3 penalties, and Sporting maintain their lead at the top of the table ahead of next week's clássico! Plus we discuss Artur Jorge leaving Braga, Vizela running out of time to survive, and much more. -

Customer Reviews
Great listen!
Having found this podcast recently I can say I really enjoy listening to the guys chat about Portuguese football…a league I have been interested in for some time. Highly recommend!!
Great Football Podcast
There are many club podcasts but this podcast covers the whole of Liga Portugal, which offers some great football outside the top teams. Scrupulously fair to all sides which creates a nice community feel around the league rather the individual teams.
Highly recommended.
Best football podcast around
As a lover of Portuguese football this is the perfect podcast. Brilliant knowledge, entertainment and I can’t wait for each episode. This podcast has helped distract me from some hard times recently so I appreciate them a lot. A must listen for any football fan.
