Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Municipal de Famalicao will host Sunday’s Primeira Liga game between Famalicao and Chaves. The hosts do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches, but they are surely capable of beating Chaves in front of home fans. As Joao Pedro Sousa has a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.
Os Valentes, on the other hand, extended their losing run to three games against Porto and given their shaky defence, we predict that Famalicao are going to kickstart 2024 in great manner. As for the away team, midfielder Benny is pushing for a start, while all Pinho, Sylla, Ygor Nogueira have been struggling with injuries of late. In their last meeting in the national championship Chaves defeated Famalicao, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Founded on August 21, 1931, Famalicao are a Portuguese football club that compete in the Primeira Liga. The colour of their home kit is white, with the team wearing blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
