"Estoril"
The "canaries" were seriously surprised at the start of this season – few people expected such a speed from the "elevator team". Before the international break, Estoril beat Aroca (2:0) and Pasos de Ferreira (3:1) on a visit, and at home they drew with Vitoria Guimaraes (0:0) and defeated Maritima (2:1). After the holidays, Estoril managed to win another away match, being stronger than Tondela (2: 1).
Sporting
The "White-green lions" started this season like a champion, winning the Portuguese Super Cup in the confrontation with Braga (2: 1), and then winning the championship three times, beating Visela (3:0), the same Braga (2:1) and Belenenses (3:0). But before the international break, the Lisbon team failed to defeat Famalikan on the road (1: 1), and after the break they missed a victory over Porto at home (1: 1). In the Champions League, Sporting got off to a terrible start, defeating Ajax in their home walls (1: 5).
