Rio Ave will face Porto and it's clear that the visitors are much stronger with 5 wins in row and 0 goals conceded witch shows how well their defense gets a lot of praise and the home team may wants to prove itself with good performance despite having an alright start but Porto is a smooth scoring team with 12 goals scored in five games and they only managed to score 6 and concede 3 goals so they are defending well and not scoring much that's why I think this game wouldn't see much of goals so under 2.5 goals with the capital team wins the game.

I got really surprised with the defeat from Benfica. Second time they waste points this seasons, and they are only on their 6th game. Even worst than losing, is that they were actually winning right from the 7min mark, and Boavista manage to score two goals and turn the game around. I mean that was just the perfect start for them, a top team, and a lot stronger than their opponent starts winning right form the start, and does not only fair in scoring more goals, but they also lose the game. I wonder how the odds for Boavista were, once they were losing.
I'm curious to see what Sporting and Porto will do on their games. Great chance to extend their lead, and I don't think they will miss it. Specially Porto, since he is coming from a heavy defeat on Champions League. Of course they are playing vs Rio Ave that is a very hard team to beat, specially home.
I will still go for a straight win on Porto and Sporting though.
Boavista winning against Benfica is what i will call an out of blue victory. That's one of the surprises in the world of football today as well as a few hiccup in the EPL, Gamblers in football will be ruing from so many money lost today especially with Liverpool and Tottenham as well.

We have Some interesting games today
Boavista - Benfica, going over 1.5 goals
The odds for 1.5 in this game is significantly very low and i believe going for a straight win for Benfica in this game will bring even more money. Boavista have never won against Benfica and since Benfica don't want to draw any more points like they did in the Rio Ave game, i believe that they are going to win the match outright. Boavista - Benfica, going over 1.5 goals
We have Some interesting games today
Boavista - Benfica, going over 1.5 goals
Sporting - Tondela, win Sporting
Boavista - Benfica, going over 1.5 goals
Sporting - Tondela, win Sporting
My predictions for this weekend matches:
Maritimo vs Aves: @Maritimo win or draw
Boavista vs Benfica: over 1.5
Sporting Lisbon vs Tondela: @Sporting win
Belenenses vs Estoril: under 3.5
Rio Ave vs Porto: @Porto win
Braga vs Guimaraes: over 1.5
Maritimo vs Aves: @Maritimo win or draw
Boavista vs Benfica: over 1.5
Sporting Lisbon vs Tondela: @Sporting win
Belenenses vs Estoril: under 3.5
Rio Ave vs Porto: @Porto win
Braga vs Guimaraes: over 1.5
I'm quite shocked to see Setubal already winning by two goals vs Braga at first half. We would have to go back 9 years to see Setubal last win against Braga, counting both home and away games. I wonder if Braga will be able to get at least a draw from this match.
It was also a surprise to me, to see both Benfica and Sporting suffering so much to get their wins on their last games. Benfica played very bad and was saved by the new referee system that uses video images to decide on key points of the game that are hard to judge by the referee, and Sporting got their winning goal after 8 minutes of injury time, that is not very common. Only Porto remains incredibly strong right now, with only wins and not even a goal suffered.

Vitória Guimarães vs Boavista
A point separates the two sides in the league table. Knowing that Vitória Guimarães are on six game unbeaten streak and a three game winning run against Boavista, I will with no doubt place my money on Vitória Guimarães to win this game very easily who have not won in their last three games after winning their first game of the season against Chaves.

I would like to Vitoria will take that game away look at there statistics they are looking in very great position so let's hope for better.

Vitória Setúbal have the opportunity to earn their first win of the season as they meet Sporting Braga who on the other hand have won two games out of their four games played. Sporting Braga hasn't lost a single game to Vitória Setúbal in their last 20 games which ironically means that they are going to have to wait next weekend if they are trying to secure their first win of the league. Tipping Braga away win or draw.
In their last four games between the two sides, Porto has won three and lost one which was in the Portuguese Cup, It's without no doubt that Porto are going to carry the day in this match, So i am going for a home win for Porto as well as goals over 2.5.
Tondela hasn't lost a game against Paços de Ferreira in their last four games, they managed to win two and drew the remaining two games, Paços de Ferreira hasn't won a single game so far this season they have a mere two points from their last four games.whiles Tondela managed a win in their last game against Moreirense. Going for a win for Tondela today.

Setubal vs Braga: both team to score
Benfica after suffering a shock draw against Rio Ave in their opening game this season has gone on to win their remaining three games and they are facing FC Portimonense at the Estadio da Luz today. The last time the two teams met was in 2011 October in the Portuguese Cup where Benfica won by 2-0. I will go ahead and tip Benfica for a straight win here.
Feirense VS Sporting CP
Sporting Lisbon are sitting on top of the league with a perfect record this season, only Porto can rival that a the moment whiles Feirense are unbeaten with two draws and two wins under their belt, But am sure that's to change today and they are going to suffer their first defeat of the season, They have played Sporting Lisbon ten times and were able to break their losing run against them just last year after a brace from Tiago Silva to win the game 2-1. There has been never a draw between the two sides, I am tipping a win for Sporting Lisbon as they seek to start a new winning streak against Feirense today.

Benfica started the new season very strong with them picking up the Portuguese Supercup and three wins and a draw in the league scoring 10 goals in them and conceding just 2 but they still have a problem at the back with Ederson and Lindelöf have not yet been replaced thy still have time to replace them because their transfer window ends in 22 September so plenty of time for them to get the players needed while the new commers Portimonense been playing well but I doubt that they can do a thing this time against Benfica so I'm going with Benfica to win with both teams not scoring.
It's no surprise that the Portuguese transfer window ends at a later date, they will need to replace most of the players they have lost to the super clubs of Europe and there is no doubt where they are going to replace those lost players from. Most of the talents in the league are from South America and they always thrive there.

I would like to see how Benfica and Sporting handle their games tomorrow. Benfica already lost points for their direct opponents by drawing with Rio Ave. Of course Rio Ave is a hard team to beat, so I think Benfica will win this game vs Portimonense with ease and by a large margin. I will go for over 2.5 on this one.
As for Sporting, they are having a very good start, just like Porto, so I think this should be an easy win for them as well. Although they have the best offense so far, half of their goals were scored vs Guaranies, so I expect this game to be under 2.5.
Benfica are without a doubt going to win the game but with Sporting Lisbon i think that game can be tricky because they were beaten by Feirense for the first time in their history, Maybe a draw or a win for them.
