They have lost four games and drawn to gather 8 points and sit 12th in the standings, but could move to the same level with eight position Moreirense with all three points this weekend.  MatchPlug Prediction For Benfica VS Rio Ave  Winning six games in a row before Wednesday’s loss to Bodo/Glimt, Benfica entered this match intending to get back on the winning side. Rio Ave will seek consecutive victories for the first time since March 2023. They failed to win on the road and as such the hosts will dominate here.  Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.

That result meant that Vitoria had won nine of their last 10 games across all competitions, with AVS beating them by a slim margin of 1-0.  At home, Guimaraes have proven to be tough opponents to subdue, taking their undefeated record up to nine matches across all competitions.  Betting On FC Porto FC Porto proved how dominant they are last week when they won against Farense by a wide gap of 72% possession and 25 total shots throughout the match. Yet, Porto couldn’t do what needed to be done, ending the match with a narrow 2-1 win over a side that is now at the bottom of the Primeira Liga.  But, with that victory, the guests have now recorded their ninth win out of their last 10 games across all competitions. Porto have been excellent on the road with only one loss in their last nine appearances, which was against current league leaders Sporting CP.  MatchPlug Prediction For Guimaraes VS FC Porto  Although FC Porto made an impressive start to the Liga Portugal season, losing to just Sporting, Vitoria Guimaraes have done the same, losing points in only one match this term. But, Guimaraes have been outstanding at home this campaign and experts believe they might just be able to win on their home turf. However, Porto is the preferred team by the Sportsbooks. Final Prediction: FC Porto Moneyline.

Football Predictions Today: Sporting VS FC Porto Sure Tips

Two giants in Portuguese football will clash when Sporting Lisbon hosts FC Porto on Matchday 4 of the Primeira Liga 2024/25 season. Sporting VS FC Porto will be held at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, Lisbon.  MatchPlug has the Accurate Football Predictions, picks, and odds for Sporting VS FC Porto. We are a Sure Win Prediction Site where you can find Primeira Liga previews.  Predictions and Betting Preview For Sporting VS FC Porto  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Sporting Lisbon Recently, this fixture has only favoured FC Porto, and that is something Sporting Lisbon will seek to end as they get ready for this match. They have already lost to Porto this season, conceding a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3 in extra time.  Such a mistake should spur Sporting to want to avenge it. It will all come down to how strong their defence is. The last league match between these two rivals finished in a notable 2-2 draw. Their most recent matches also ended in draws at 90 minutes. Lisbon will hope to finish the match with 11 men after they had two players sent off in two of their last three matches against Porto.  Betting On FC Porto This meeting comes weeks after FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon played in the Super Cup match to kick off the new football season. In that match, held at the start of August, Porto managed a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to a 4-3 victory.  The last time this fixture produced seven goals was over 10 years ago, with Porto winning back then. This just intensified the rivalry between these two clubs and today’s game should be thrilling as a result. The two clubs are tied at the top of the table with nine points, just separated by goal difference which puts Sporting above Porto.  MatchPlug Prediction For Sporting VS FC Porto  Sporting and FC Porto’s rivalry reached new levels in the Super Cup meeting where seven goals were scored. Porto made a stunning comeback from 3-0 down to steal the day. Analysing both team’s scoring runs ahead of this game, all indications point to another high scoring meeting.

Football Predictions Today: Benfica VS Moreirense Sure Tips

Benfica VS Moreirense will begin the fourth week of the Portuguese Primeira Liga action. Both clubs will meet on Friday, with the hosts Moreirense ranking one spot below Benfica.  MatchPlug has the Accurate Football Predictions, picks, and odds for Benfica VS Moreirense. We are a Sure Win Prediction Site where you can find Primeira Liga previews.  Predictions and Betting Preview For Benfica VS Moreirense  Odds provided by 1XBet. Betting On Benfica Benfica have improved after a poor start to the season. Their opening game ended in a 2-0 surprising loss at Famalicão. They however made a comeback by posting straight wins in the following two matches. Benfica first won Casa Pia 3-0 at home, then they defeated Estrela 1-0 in the most recent match. After consecutive home games, Benfica will hope to recreate the same result on the road. They are undefeated in the last eight trips to Moreirense, with just three ending in draws. That result will have them hopeful, as they plan to end their three winless away games in the league.  Betting On Moreirense A winless run of 10 games against Benfica puts Moreirense as the underdogs in this match. However, the hosts will view themselves highly, after winning two of their three opening matches. None of those matches brought a clean sheet, meaning they still have work to do. Moreirense’s recent fixture brought their unbeaten start to a campaign to a halt.  They were undefeated 3-1 at Sporting Braga with Luis Asué scoring his third goal in so many matches. Moreirense did not score in the last two meetings with Benfiica, so returns in attack will be a plus.  MatchPlug Prediction For Benfica VS Moreirense  Moreirense will hope to win this match, even if it’s against an opponent as strong as Benfica. But, their home form against Benfica does not inspire much confidence. Moreirense have five defeats the last eight times they hosted Benfica.  Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.
