Much of the success of the Big Three will be played over the next two months. In the end, there remains a little over sixty days when everything is decided: a good part of the league, plus the Champions League and the Europa League, most of the Portuguese Cup and League Cup .
Four competitions contested for each club, therefore.
FC Porto, Sporting and Benfica will play one match every three days. Without a single week of stopping. It is a crazy sequence, so it ends only at the beginning of February.
Starting with the championship leader, FC Porto can play 18 games in 71 days. It is said that he "can" because it depends on the qualification in the next round of the Portuguese Cup and the qualification for the last four of the League Cup. Well, that 's not true, but it' s far from impossible.
If the 18 matches are confirmed within 71 days, FC Porto will play a match every 3.9 days.
The sequence began last Saturday at home with the Belenenses, continued with the reception at Schalke 04 for the Champions League and continues Sunday with the trip to Bessa.
From there and until February 3, there will be another nine League games, including the move to Alvalade on January 12th. There is still a Champions League match and at least one (maybe two) Portuguese Cup matches. There is also at least more (which can be three) League Cup match.
If there is no report in the meantime, the maximum rest time of Porto will be six days, from January 6th to 12th, curiously before the trip to Alvalade.
In addition, there will also be three five-day no-match periods, from December 2 to 12 (transfer to Bessa and reception at Portimonense, both for La Liga), from December 23 to 28 (reception at Rio Ave for the league and displacements). Jamor for the League Cup) and between December 28th and January 2nd (Jamor trip and bird trip to the league).
The worst week, finally, seems to be already in December, between 11 and 15: trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray and four days later to the Azores, to play with Santa Clara.

18 games in 71 days: average of one game for 3.9 days
Sporting, meanwhile, has exactly the same sequence as FC Porto: if they continue to play the Portuguese Cup and if they qualify for the last four of the Coupe de la Ligue, the lions will play 18 matches in 71 days: average one meeting every 3,9 days.
The difference is that the two-month non-stop series of Sporting ends with a derby: a reception for Benfica, scheduled for 3 February at Estádio de Alvalade.
The leonine sequence also began on Saturday as they traveled to Viseu to face the Lusitanians and continued on Thursday with the biggest trip of their history: to go to Baku to play for Qarabag.
In addition, Sporting will play two important matches, both at Alvalade: January 12, they will receive FC Porto and February 3, Benfica.
As in Porto, the Leon team will have a maximum of six days rest. In this case, unlike the dragons, this happens twice: the first between the 3rd and the 9th of December, between the trip to Vila de Comte and the reception at Desp. Birds, for the League, and between January 6 and 12, precisely in the preparation of the classic with the dragons.
Beyond these two periods, one is distinguished from groups of five days of rest: the first is this one, before the trip to Baku on Thursday. The two others take place during the festive seasons, between 23 and 28 December (V. Guimarães for the League and Feirense for the League Cup) and between 28 and 2 January (Feirense and Belenenses for the League) .
Finally, the worst series is that Sporting lives with three away matches: started Saturday in Viseu, continues Thursday in Baku and ends Monday in Vila do Conde: in nine days, so, three long trips, all of which lasted more than three hours.
