Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Estadio Jose Gomes will host Monday’s football game between Estrela and Famalicao, the two sides who face each other in the closing match of the Primeira Liga round 2. Estrela did well to hold Braga to a 1-1 draw in their opener and they are now on a quest to register their first triumph of the process. Summer signing Alan Ruiz is pushing for his first start of the season, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Famalicao, meanwhile, kicked off the new Primeira Liga season in style, with the team upsetting title-chasing Benfica in front of home fans. Beating Estrela on the road, is easier said than done and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away team, forward Sorriso is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the opening match of the season.
