We are a reliable Prediction Site to find Primeira Liga previews.  Predictions and Betting Preview For FC Porto VS Santa Clara  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On FC Porto  Jose Tavares will hope to withstand the storm and lead FC Porto to their first victory of the new year, although the first try ended with a 1-0 loss to Olympiacos in the Europa League. Since replacing Vitor Bruno, Tavares was unable to stop a 79th minute strike that sent his team to another loss this season.  Despite ending last year with four consecutive victories, Porto’s luck has taken a turn for the worse, beginning with a 1-0 loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Taca da Liga, then a 2-0 defeat by Nacional and a 3-1 reverse against Gil Vicente. Due to those setbacks in the Primeira Liga, the hosts have fallen from second to third with 40 points, one behind Benfica and four behind Sporting in first place.  Betting On Santa Clara Santa Clara will want to exploit Porto’s recent struggles as they chase their first ever away win against the host, having lost all 10 of their last visits. But they are also going through a tough tie, with only one victory in their last six meetings across all contests. Clara have one draw and four losses, with the latest being a 3-2 loss to Estoril Praia last weekend.  Despite that loss, head coach Vasco Matos will be proud of Santa Clara’s season so far, with the newly promoted team surpassing expectations. They are currently in 5th place with 31 points – which is 9 more points than what they scored in the 2022-23 term, when they finished bottom and were relegated.  MatchPlug Prediction For FC Porto VS Santa Clara  Despite Porto struggling recently, their impeccable home record is still intact, which can give them the boost they need to win this year against Santa Clara.  Final Prediction: FC Porto Moneyline.

Betting On Casa Pia Casa Pia have found peace in their attacking style, scoring in each of those matches, with 13 goals resulting in four victories, two draws, and only one loss. Six of them happened in the Primeira Liga, where they stayed undefeated in that stretch, winning four and drawing two.  Casa’s most recent league run was a 3-2 road win over Boavista, a result that put them 6th in the standings with 27 points from 7 victories, six draws, and five losses. They must survive a challenging head-to-head record, where they’ve lost four of their five fixtures against Benfica to maintain their strong form. Their return to Pina Manique has not been convincing, with three victories, four draws, and two losses, putting them as 11th-best home side in the league.  Betting On Benfica In the match against Barcelona, Benfica seemed certain of their victory, but a shocking twist started with Lewandowski’s penalty, followed by Eric Garcia’s header, before Raphinha secured the victory with the last goal of the match. This caused the visitors to fall further down the Champions League table.  But, in a contrasting story in the local league for Benfica, they secured a 4-0 win over Famalicao recently, putting them 2nd place in the standings. That victory snapped a two-game losing streak, earning them 40 points from 13 victories, two draws, and three losses. They now trail league leaders Sporting Lisbon by 3 points. Benfica’s attacking form is strong, scoring up to three goals in each of their last three games. They’ll want to exploit Casa’s weak defense here.   MatchPlug Prediction For Casa Pia VS Benfica  Despite Casa Pia having a good Primeira Liga form, Benfica are still the favourites to win here, given their superior record against the home side. Pia will stand strong, but the guest’s attack will be too great to withstand.  Final Prediction: Benfica.

Predictions and Betting Preview For Gil Vicente VS FC Porto Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Gil Vicente Gil Vincente have had mixed results in the Primeira Liga this season but keep pushing to reach the top half of the standings, as they are in 11th position with 19 points recorded. They ended a match against Rio Ave with a 1-1 draw in their last league appearance with Felix Correia opening the scoring in the first half before their opponents drew level in the second. But, Vicente, got back to winning last weekend when they defeated Moreirense 1-0 in the last 16 of the Taca de Portugal. Betting On FC Porto Meanwhile, FC Porto have experienced some disappointing results in recent matches, although they are still alive in the title race. They took a shocking 2-0 loss from Nacional and had good opportunities to get back on track in the match after a poor first-half performance but failed to do so. Porto are still second in the league standings with 40 points recorded from 17 games. They are only one point behind Sporting at the top of the pile and could pass them with a victory tomorrow. MatchPlug Prediction For Gil Vicente VS FC Porto  Gil Vicente are on a six-match undefeated run, securing 3 victories and 3 draws. They have lost only one home match since last April and will hope for a win on Sunday. Porto are battling successive losses after enjoying an unbeaten streak in their last 7 matches. They have disappointed on the road, but should be able to win this game.  Final Prediction: FC Porto Moneyline.

We have Sure Tips for various Primeira Liga previews.  Predictions and Betting Preview For Benfica VS Famalicao  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Benfica Benfica will enter this match feeling better about themselves than they were a few weeks ago, when they ended last year with a 1-0 loss against Sporting Lisbon, before coming into 2025 with a 2-1 defeat to Braga at home. Their improved mood is thanks to their performances in the domestic cup over the last nine days.  The hosts defeated two teams; SC Braga 3-0 in the Taca da Liga semi-final before beating Os Leos on penalties in the final. Benfica also bounced back from a goal down on Tuesday night to win Farense 3-1 and secure their spot in the last 16 of the Taca de Portugal.  Betting On Famalicao  Famalicao were eliminated from the Taca de Portugal in the fourth round by Santa Clara, and as a result they did not compete in the midweek action. This match on Friday will be their first time competing since January 5th.  Fama played out a 1-1 draw on the road to Casa Pia on the 5th, a result that dragged out their present winless run in the top flight to seven games and 8th across all contests going back to the beginning of November. The guests have won just one of their last 14 league matches, which is a huge fail after starting the season with three successive wins in their first 3 games of the term.  MatchPlug Prediction For Benfica VS Famalicao  Although Benfica witnessed a drop in their Primeira Liga form over the last month, their cup victories over the last two weeks should boost their momentum, and they may win this match, against a Famalicao side that haven’t won their last 7 top flight fixtures.  Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.

In the opening 32 minutes of the game at Municipal de Arouca, Dario Poveda and Elves Balde scored twice to pass Alfonso Trezza’s 16th-minute equaliser to send Farense to the fifth round.  This was in line with their woes in the Liga Portugal, where Arouca haven’t won in their last five games. They have lost three, drawn two, and won just one of their last eight games since the beginning of September. After ending in seventh position last year, the hosts have struggled this season as they are now stuck at the bottom of the table, with only 8 points from 11 games.  Betting On Benfica  Benfica secured a last minute victory against Monaco in the Champions League match as they came from behind twice to steal a 3-2 win over the Ligue 1 team. Eliesse Ben Seghir and Soungoutou Magassa scored goals to level Vangelis Pavlidis’s 48th-minute strike to put Monaco in the lead, but Arthur Cabral and Zeki Amdouni scored to break the tie.  Today’s guests will now focus on the Primeira Liga, where they are on a run of six consecutive victories and are undefeated in their last nine matches. Benfica have recorded 8 wins and 1 draw since losing 2-0 to Famalicao on August 11.  MatchPlug Prediction For Arouca VS Benfica  Benfica are currently unstoppable in the league and will be confident in their ability to defeat a struggling Arouca. This match will be one sided and the guests will win.  Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline. 

FC Porto will want to end a disappointing run of results, when they host Casa Pia tonight at Estadio do Dragao.

We are the Best Prediction site for previews and tips for similar matches. Predictions and Betting Preview For FC Porto VS Casa Pia  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On FC Porto After a seamless managerial change from Sergio Conceicao to Vitor Bruno, FC Porto has had their first fumble under the new coach, as seen in their four-match winless run. A 2-1 Europa League defeat to Lazio was answered by a 4-1 beating by Benfica before the international break, and that respite didn’t end their disappointment.  Porto will hope that a home match will help them redeem their result of four losses in a row and continue their perfect Liga Portugal home record this season. Just Benfica (6 victories form 6) and Sporting (5 wins from 5) have matched Porto’s record.  Betting On Casa Pia This match will be a good opportunity for Casa Pia to exploit their hosts’ weak form, even if they haven’t had much success at Estadio do Dragao. Despite the skid against Porto, they enter this match searching for a sixth straight match without defeat, a record they got from Taca de Portugal victories over Amora (5-0) and Chaves (3-0).  Pia have already lost against Benfica (0-3) and Sporting (0-2) this term, and will face another strong opponent tonight on the road. Considering their 1-2-2 record in road matches this term, Casa may enter this fixture with fear rather than any hopes of a win.  MatchPlug Prediction For FC Porto VS Casa Pia  Porto will want to put the recent failure behind when they come home tonight, hoping for another win by beating Casa Pia.  Final Prediction: FC Porto Moneyline.
