Alert, Sporting! Luis Suárez’s poor form could have consequences | OneFootball

The race for the League’s top scorer title is heating up and, although Luis Suárez of Sporting remains in the lead, the truth is that the picture has changed drastically in recent weeks, opening the door to new surprises in the final stretch of the championship.

The Colombian striker has 24 goals in 28 matchdays and holds a three-goal advantage over Vangelis Pavlidis of Benfica, who has 21 goals in 31 matches, but both are going through a less effective spell that is completely reigniting the battle.

Pavlidis has not scored since matchday 27, against Vitória de Guimarães on March 21, with just two goals in the last 12 matchdays, while Suárez has also gone cold, having not found the net since the clash with Alverca on March 22, and has now gone six straight games without scoring.

The situation became even more evident in the derby, when the Colombian missed a penalty against the Eagles, wasting a golden opportunity to extend his lead and land an important blow in the race for the award. Even so, Suárez starts with a slight advantage, not least because he still has one more game to play against Tondela this Wednesday before the final three matchdays, in which Sporting will still face Vitória de Guimarães, Gil Vicente and Rio Ave.

However, the real threat may come from outside the traditional giants, with Estoril’s Yanis Begraoui on 19 goals and closing in dangerously, while Nacional’s Jesús Ramírez is also entering the equation after an excellent run of form, reigniting a battle that promises excitement right up to the final minute of the season.
