Predictions for the 33rd round of Primeira Liga, May 10-11
This preview contains predictions for the matches of the 33rd round of the Portuguese championship. All football predictions can be found in the football section, and the full list of predictions for the Portuguese championship is on the Primeira Predictions page. So, what's the main intrigue this week? Porto is already the champion, and the fight for second place continues. Benfica is facing a tough match against Braga, while Sporting is obliged to beat Rio Ave. The battle for survival also remains active: Tondela will play arguably the most important match of the season in this round.
Gil Vicente – Arouca
The teams have no tournament motivation for the last rounds. The season is over for them. Under such conditions, the fans, who will be pushing Gil Vicente forward, will be a significant advantage. On the other hand, Arouca also has nothing to fear and can play openly. Four consecutive head-to-head meetings ended with both teams scoring, and we suggest believing in the continuation of this trend.

Bet: both teams to score
Vitoria Guimaraes – Casa Pia
The hosts have already resolved all their issues in the championship, while the visitors still have a chance to avoid the relegation playoffs. Casa Pia must gain points in the last rounds. The team looks good against Vitoria in head-to-head meetings, which only adds to its prospects. By the way, the first round match ended in a goalless draw (0:0). In this situation, Casa Pia is capable of not losing, as its motivation is incomparable with the opponent's.

Bet: visitors will not lose
Santa Clara – Nacional
The opponents are in the lower part of the table, but they are hardly threatened by anything. They can play for their pleasure and work on various combinations. Santa Clara plays well at home: it has won three of the last five matches, scoring in four cases. Nacional, in turn, has lost three of the last five away matches, and its defense has conceded in most matches. We believe that Santa Clara is capable of scoring in front of its fans, and not just once.

Bet: home team's individual total over 1.5 goals
Rio Ave – Sporting
The "Lions" can still finish second in the table and qualify for the Champions League next season. However, not everything depends on them now, as Benfica is higher. But no one has canceled the fact that the last two matches need to be won. Rio Ave has already achieved its goals for the season and is unlikely to beresist strongly.

Bet: individual total of the guests over 2.5 goals
Estrela - Famalicao
The hosts continue to fight for survival, despite a series of defeats. A home game is an important chance to prove themselves. Famalicao, although combative, occasionally shows weakness. The choice in this match is quite simple: we believe that the more skilled guests will score their goal, but at the same time, Estrela's motivation can also help find a way to the opponent's goal. It worked in the first round, and now it's even more important.

Alverca - Estoril
This match is not easy to predict. The teams have solved their tasks in the championship and are playing out the season. However, both Alverca and Estoril have accustomed us to their instability. The clubs combine quality matches and failures. Here a good choice is the over scenario: the first round match was productive, plus Estoril is currently showing frankly poor defense, which can help to beat the chosen number. The opponents have nothing to lose, so they can deliver bright football.

Bet: total over 2.5 goals
AVS - Porto
An interesting match from the point of view of symbolism, but not tournament motivation. Porto will play the first match as a champion, and AVS has long been relegated to a lower division. Probably, Francesco Farioli will resort to rotation, as all tasks are solved. The hosts, in turn, can slam the door on the way out. It's very hard to believe in a rout in this confrontation.

Benfica - Braga
The central match of the round. Benfica continues to fight for second place, while Braga is trying to guarantee itself the fourth line. There is an important point here: Benfica is in excellent form, while the opponent is playing on two fronts. Jose Mourinho's charges should be fresher, especially in front of their fans. Braga is an unpleasant opponent, but at the moment it looks tired, which is not surprising.

Bet: home win with a handicap (-1)
Tondela -Moreirense
The hosts still have a chance to stay in the elite, while Moreirense has solved its tasks and is simply playing out the season. The difference in motivation is colossal. Tondela's prospects are enhanced by the fact that it historically plays well on its home field against Moreirense. The victory in the last round of the championship proved that the team has a fighting spirit at the finish. A win is also needed in the upcoming match. Moreirense, on the other hand, has never shone with stability, and there is even less reason to strain now.

Round Summary
There's not much intrigue left in the Portuguese championship. This round has quite a few events, the outcome of which is hard to predict. It's all about the motivation of the opponents. We recommend paying attention to the matches where Porto and Vitoria Guimaraes will play. In our opinion, these events carry less risk. We urge you to adhere to the rules of responsible gambling and wish you a pleasant viewing of the football matches!
