Monday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Nacional

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Monday's Primeira Liga fixtures, including Benfica vs. Nacional.


Belenenses vs. Tondela (Monday, 2.30pm)

Belenenses welcome Tondela to the Estadio do Restelo on Monday afternoon as the hosts look to end a five-game winless streak in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and escape the relegation places.

The visitors will be looking to build on their 3-1 victory over basement side Boavista last time out and put some real daylight between themselves and the bottom three.

We say: Belenenses 0-2 Tondela


The two teams are fairly evenly matched, but Tondela are carrying some good momentum into this fixture, and that could prove to be the difference on the day.

Belenenses have seriously struggled in front of goal all season, and until those issues are solved, it is hard to see them escaping the relegation zone.

Rio Ave vs. Santa Clara (Monday, 4.30pm)

Rio Ave host Santa Clara in a mid-table clash on Monday afternoon in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Marco Carvalho's men picked up a point away from home against league-leaders Sporting Lisbon last time out, while the visitors fell to a disappointing defeat on home soil when they entertained Famalicao.

We say: Rio Ave 1-1 Santa Clara


Neither side are in great form coming into this one and will be happy to take home a point apiece. We think it is most likely to end in a low-scoring draw after a game of few chances between two evenly matched teams.

Benfica vs. Nacional (Monday, 5.00pm)

Benfica entertain Nacional in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Monday afternoon, with both teams looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats last time out.

The hosts were defeated by Braga in the Taca da Liga semi-finals, while the visitors lost 3-1 to Vitoria de Guimaraes.

We say: Benfica 2-0 Nacional


Although Benfica have a seriously depleted squad for this upcoming encounter, they should have far too much quality for a struggling Nacional squad. The likes of Haris Seferovic and Darwin Nunez will still be available and, with the firepower on display for the capital club, we fancy them to secure the three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Farense vs. Porto (Monday, 8.15pm)

Two teams with contrasting fortunes this season go head-to-head on Monday when third-from-bottom SC Farense host second-placed Porto.

Sergio Vieira's men will come into this one in a confident mood, despite their league position, after defeating Gil Vicente last time out.

We say: SC Farense 1-3 Porto


Despite Porto suffering from a coronavirus outbreak that has severely depleted their squad, their key men are still available, and the 2019-20 Primeira Liga champions should have far too much quality for this relegation-threatened Farense side.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
