Portuguese League Prediction Thread (Primeira Liga)

Moreirense  vs Sporting Braga
In sixteen games between the two sides, Sporting Braga has won seven games whiles Moreirense has won just three games. They have played six draws between them so far, Braga has won their last three games whiles Moreirense are without a win in their last three games. I am predicting goals over 2.5 in this game.

I tried to watch the game, but I got bored. It's hard to score when there is just when team trying to do so. Moreirense  clearly wanted just the draw, and did everything they could to get it. It's quite sad to see that, when a team is playing a home, but they are not very strong and just wanted to gain some precious points to survive on the league.

I'm quite surprised with the game between Guimarães and Portimonense. Guimarães is losing at home, and although they are not doing that well  this season, they are normally a very strong team at their stadium. I would really like to put some coins on the home or draw, since there is still a lot of time to play, but I guess it's to risky now.

The best games were played over the weekend with respect to the Portuguese league and so i didn't pay much attention to this game but even though i expected it to be boring too Braga managed to win all the three points with their solo goal and it puts them fourth place on the league log.

The Portuguese FA should try and make their league a little more entertaining like the major leagues in Europe because as far as i can see, Most players use their Primeira Liga as a stepping stone to be recruited into the other high profile leagues in Europe and currently they are losing players to China now.

I don't think there is much they can do. Portugal is a small country, and not very rich, so teams can't really afford big salaries to players. If the teams can't afford to hire good players, their overall performance won't be that great. If teams are not that strong, and don't really have a chance to do well in European competitions then less players will want to play in Portuguese teams, so it ends up being a cycle.

The only teams that can actually do anything, are the top3 ones, since they usually go to European competitions., but even on those, is normally like you said. They are used by players and coaches to move to higher Leagues. With the budget that these teams actually have, I think they are doing really well. Take a look a FC Porto when they had José Mourinho coaching them, that was a really big achievement for a Portuguese team. But even after that, would Mourinho stay at Porto? Of course not, it's not possible. Or take a look at Sporting, do you think they would be able to keep Luis Figo, or Cristiano Ronaldo there? It's not possible.

Portuguese league is not that amazing, but I still enjoy seeing their games from time to time, because like I said, even though it's an average league in a small country without many resources, we see coaches and players like those I've mentioned emerging from there, and that is something worth mentioning in my opinion (not even talking about Portugal being the actual European Champion, because that is also huge in a small country like that).

Now is not the best time for Portuguese football. A few years ago, teams from this country, played in Europe very strong. I do not even know what the decline in the level of the Portuguese teams is connected with?

Why do you say that? Let's just look at the Champions League, we have the Top3 Portuguese teams there. I can agree with you if we talk about Benfica, because not only they have lost all three matches they played, but they also got a very heavy defeat vs Basel. The thing is they are not doing very well this season on Portuguese League, so I would say that is a problem with Benfica and not with Portuguese teams in general.

If you look at Sporting and Porto, they are doing ok. Sporting is no match for Barcelona and Juventus, the only thing they can do is win vs Olympiakos, which they did, and try to play well vs Juve or Barça, which I think they did as well.

As for Porto, they are in a very competitive group as well, with a lot of rich teams. Monaco won the french league last year (that has PSG in it, so it was a big deal), and Porto manage to defeat them. Leipezig finished in second on bundesliga, and is in 3rd place right now just one point bellow Dortmund, so they are not an easy team and Porto played well vs them, and could have done better because the first goal they suffered resulted from a mistake form their GK.

Right now I think they are doing quite well, and Porto can still advance to the next phase, and Sporting can still do something in Europa League, so I don't think they have declined that much, from what they normally do.

The decline is rather due to the fact that the Portuguese clubs are rather interested in making money rather than competing with the other elites in European Soccer, they will sell their best players to them and all they care about is their domestic trophies and nothing else.

Portimonense gained their first victory Vitoria Setubal in their entire history and it was a rather convincing one I might add, it seems the players were really geared towards the game and they let the result show for itself.  Am sure lots of gamblers are going to lose their money on this game because no one really expected the outcome to be this at all.

I wonder how many people won by betting in the bookmaker office that Portimonense will win? I can imagine how big the coefficient was. Although I may be wrong.

Going to play 2 games today
Guimaraes - Benfica,  over 1.5 goals
Sporting - Braga,  ht over 0.5 goal

[Bolt Brownie]

One last game for Taça de Portugal today, between Vitoria de Guimarães and Feirense. I think that there is some money to be made on this game. This trophy is always very important for Guimaraes, and they are very strong at home, so I think they should win this one. The odds are high, because they usually find trouble when playing Feirense, but I think they are in better shape, they are playing at home, and like I said this it's very important for them to fight for this trophy. I will put some coins in it @1.7

[Dux2K]

Nice if you place on correct score

Boavista - Moreirense, over 1.5 goals   
Aves - Porto, win Porto and over 1.5 goals

[Karpeles]

Benfica is struggling in the Champions League but locally they face weaker opponents and are doing better. Should be easy win for Benfica this time, considering they are against a team just 3 points above the relegation. But it is not rare for Benfica to have low scoring games and and previous 5 Benfica - Setubal games ended with less than goals, so the pick here is Benfica and under 2.5 goals.

They are indeed having a great time in the Portuguese primeria liga unlike the Champions League, and since their prospect of going to the next stage of European competition is practically over, their best bet is concentrating fully on the league or they are going to become trophy-less this season.

Will they be able to concentrate fully, that is the question. To be honest, I did not expect that they will be so weak to lose to the Russian team CSKA Moscow, which is frankly weak.

[lilit]

Me Benfica this season is very disappointing. Such a weak performance from them, I did not expect. Maybe they have in the team internal problems.

Not bad but hope you will be able to continue this way, i am watching this space for more successful tips before i will begin to to try them. The Portuguese league is interesting but many don't know that hardly do we have upsets and so sports bettors especially football bettors could be making a lot of profits from this league.
