On this week’s episode of the Long Ball Futebol Podcast, we discuss all the action from Jornada 30 including the dérbi de Lisboa and Porto scoring seven goals against a much-changed Portimonense.

Elsewhere, Moreirense and B-SAD earned vital wins in the relegation battle, while Vitória and Marítimo both win 4-0.

Regarding the UEFA coefficients, as the things stand right now, and keep in mind Feyenoord is still alive in the Conference League, Portugal will start the next season with 43.716 points and the Netherlands with 45.6. Meaning the Portuguese clubs have to outperform the Dutch ones by at least 2 whole points the next year. I'm not sure we can talk about beating the French coefficient anymore at least for now.

That's a great point, when it comes to the coefficient I think it's definitely about looking over our shoulder (for now) than forward. I mentioned on the pod that one of the areas we've underchieved is in the Conference League, you look at PSV getting to the final - two portuguese clubs were out in the qualifying round, it's vital we pick up points there to stay in 6th place in the coefficient.

Thanks for listening, Samuel!

Portugals top 4 are the only ones that can reliably rack points. Our rotating 5th best team every season will rarely make a go even in the conference league. They’ll be closer to failing to reach the group stage rather than make it out of the group stage.

Conference league is a death sentence to our coefficient

I think you're right, it's really worrying to see French and Dutch clubs getting to the latter stages of the conference league, whilst Portuguese clubs go out in the qualifying round. We can't keep relying on Porto/Benfica to go far in the UCL to gain us those coefficient points.
