Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Santa Clara
Match Time & Date:
20 September 2025
15:30
Prediction: 1-0
Alverca
After holding star-studded Benfica to a 1-1 draw at Estadio da Luz, Santa Clara will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Alverca on Matchday 6. Os Acorianos are undefeated in the previous three league matches, but they need start winning on a regular basis if they are to represent Portugal in European competitions next season. Defender Paulo Victory is banned for the home side, while there are no fresh injury worries.
Custadio Castro’s troops, on the other hand, did well to beat Tondela 1-0 on home soil at the weekend, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Santa Clara. Forward Chiquinho remains in the recovery room, but the 25-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since 2005 when they played out a goalless draw in Liga de Honra.
Highlighted Team (Santa Clara):
Santa Clara are a professional football club that compete in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Os Acoreanos (The Azoreans) play their home games at Estadio de Sao Miguel, the venue which can hold up to 13,277 people.
