Primeira Liga Predictions by FootballPredictions.com

Established in 1934, Primeira Liga is the Portuguese top flight where 18 teams compete for the trophy each season. The season often starts in early August and ends in late May.

Teams face each other twice during the season, home and away for a total of 34 matches each, with club that collect the most points at the end of the season lifting the trophy. Similar to other popular football leagues, 3 points are awarded for win, 1 for draw and 0 for defeat.

Speaking of the table order, following factors act as dividers: 1. points won; 2. points in head-to-head games; 3. goal difference in h2h games; 4. away goals in h2h matches; 5. total goal difference; 6. matches won; 7. total goals scored; 8. play-off match.

A lot at stake in the Primeira Liga

At the end of each campaign, two teams with the lowest position in the standings drop to Segunda Liga, with two highest-ranked teams from the Portuguese second tier taking their place in the elite division.

Speaking of top-table sides, champions qualify for the Champions League automatically, with second-placed club booking their place in the qualifiers for the elite competition.

Teams who finish 3rd and 4th represent Portugal in the Europa League, as well as Taca de Portugal winners. Unlike French and English league cups, Taca da Liga winner are not guaranteed a place in European competitions.

Primeira Liga Tips, Predictions and Betting advice

Betting on Primeira Liga could prove to be a boost to your sportsbook account in long run, but you need to follow games in the Portuguese elite division on weekly basis if you are to make your betting profitable.

Title-chasing sides Porto and Benfica are the dominant forces in the Portuguese football, with Braga establishing themselves as a top-table side thanks to their great scouting network.

Keep in mind that Braga are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team rarely losing points at their Estadio Municipal de Braga.

On the other hand, we do not recommend you to bet on Sporting Lisbon, who are considered one of the most unpredictable teams in the Portuguese top flight.

O Clássico

Back in April, 1912 Porto and Benfica faced each other for the first time ever in o clássico and there have been fireworks in encounters between the two best Portuguese clubs ever since.

O clássico is one of the most watched derbies in the world as the Primeira Liga winner is always decided in the clash between the two fierce rivals. A game guaranteed to be the bet of the day.

Benfica and Porto are the two most successful clubs in the Portuguese football, but the Eagles fans see Sporting Lisbon as their biggest rivals. The two capital clubs face in Derby de Lisboa, whilst Boavista are considered Porto’s bitterest local rivals.
