Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao
Match Time & Date:
07/05/2021
02:00 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Santa Clara
After suffering a 3-2 loss to Porto at Estadio do Dragao, Famalicao will be looking to return to winning ways in Primeira Liga when they take on Santa Clara on Matchday 31. Famalicao are having a very turbulent season, but they are still sitting two points above the relegation zone. Brazil international Anderson, who found the net in the defeat to Porto, is pushing for a start. Santa Clara, on the other hand, missed out on a place in European competitions following their four-game winless run.
Os Acoreanos have little to play for in the season finale, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. In the first half of the season Famalicao defeated Santa Clara 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Romao Julio Rodrigues should be the only absentee in the away team.
