Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao
Match Time & Date:
20/05/2023
02:30 PM
Prediction: 1-2
Porto
Porto will look to melt Benfica’s advantage to only one point when they take on Famalicao in the Primeira Liga round 33. The Dragons look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their eighth consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The good news for the visitors is that both Ivan Marcano and Otavio are back to the starting XI after the duo missed the last league match through suspension.
As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Iran forward Taremi, who scored the opener in a 2-1 win over Casa Pia. Famalicao, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Vizela. Considering that the hosts have slim Conference League chances, we predict that the title-chasing visitors are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter.
