Most Goals in 2022: The Portuguese contingent has been on fire this season for their respective club with important goals towards team success.

With them having missed out on an automatic berth for the World Cup, being in form for their crucial qualifier matches in March gives them much needed impetus.

Keeping the scoring boots will not only help club form but also the country’s fortunes given their impressive run.

With this, we see the top 5 Portuguese players with most goals in 2022 for their clubs this season.

Andre Silva

Silva has managed 12 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions for RB Leipzig this season.

RB Leipzig is currently in 4^th place of the Bundesliga table and hope to see the Portuguese continue the form after their entry into the UEFA Europa League.

Pedro Goncalves

Goncalves has found the net 13 times in 29 appearances across competitions this season for Sporting CP.

The Portuguese would need to be in good form this week as his side aim to deliver in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 vs Manchester City.

In the Liga Portugal, Sporting CP is 2^nd in the league table behind Porto with 54 points.

Ricardo Horta

Horta has been in impressive form as well with 14 goals from 30 appearances for Braga.

The Portuguese has scored 13 of these in the Portuguese league itself, which gives Braga a chance to finish the season on a strong note.

Currently, Braga is in 4^th spot with 41 points from 22 matches and playing good football this season.

The Portuguese captain has found the net 14 times this season across 26 appearances and is going through his longest drought of not scoring, 6 matches in the EPL.

But in the Champions League, Cristiano has continued his elite goal-prowess with 6 on target in 5 appearances which includes 3 late-winners.

One cannot doubt his ability, but the Portuguese would look to fire more and on a consistent basis as he bids to help his club and country enjoy a more productive 2022 season.
