Predictions for the 34th round of Primeira Liga, May 16
This preview compiles predictions for the matches of the 34th round of the Portuguese championship. All football predictions can be viewed in the football section, and the complete list of predictions for the Portuguese championship is on the Primeira Predictions page. So, what's the main intrigue this week? There are two. The battle for the Champions League and the fight for survival, as the second relegation spot remains vacant. And if the top half of the table seems almost settled, the bottom half is completely unclear. We look forward to the final round and wish you enjoyable football viewing!
Moreirense – AVS
The last match of the season decides nothing for these teams, as they no longer have any objectives. However, it's worth noting AVS's victory over the new champion in the last round (3:1). In the past month, the visitors have left a much more positive impression than throughout the entire season, but they still got relegated early. In the upcoming match, we believe that AVS will find a chance to score thanks to their good form, and Moreirense is even more obliged to score in front of their fans.

Bet: both teams to score
Porto – Santa Clara
There is also no intrigue in this match. Porto is preparing to receive the gold medals, while Santa Clara is finishing in the lower part of the table, having long secured themselves from the danger zone. There is no doubt that Francesco Farioli will resort to extensive rotation (as shown by the last round), so in this situation, the visitors have a chance to cling on. A good attitude towards a top team is not cancelled, especially when the tournament situation does not put any pressure.

Bet: visitors to win with a handicap (+1.5)
Nacional – Vitoria Guimaraes
The hosts theoretically could fall into the playoff zone, but this scenario seems more like a fantasy. In any case, Nacional will be much more motivated in front of their fans than Vitoria, who have been playing with mixed success for half a year. The teams are on a losing streak and are unlikely to play optimally now, so we risk assuming that the fate of the match could be decided by a single accurate shot.

Bet: total under 2.5 goals
Arouca – Tondela
This is another match of a lifetime for Tondela, which they will play against a demotivated opponent. The visitors have won two important matches in a row, and the third one will most likely save them from direct relegation. Considering the stakes, we can imagine the determination of the players.that Arouca managed to beat in the first round (3:1). We believe that in this case, it makes sense to choose the obvious option: the hosts are unlikely to have a lot of tension in the match, and the odds on Tondela's victory are worth betting on.

Bet: Away win
Braga – Estrela
The "Archbishops" have solved their task in the championship. Fourth place is theirs. Estrela, on the other hand, may even be relegated directly, although before the last round, they are in a safe zone. The guests were unlucky with the schedule: historically, Braga plays successfully against them at home, but there should still be chances. Most likely, the hosts will resort to rotation, and here is an opportunity. We can expect at least one goal from the underdog.

Bet: Guests will score
Casa Pia – Rio Ave
The home team is in the best situation in the fight for survival compared to competitors. It's important to simply win at home against an unmotivated opponent, especially since Rio Ave has not won four matches. Casa Pia, in turn, is not much different from the opponent, having won in the last round for the first time in a long time. Motivation, however, should be decisive in such a situation. Casa Pia is capable of beating a far from top competitor, and the fans should be a key factor in this success.

Bet: Home win
Famalicao – Alverca
Famalicao's unbeaten streak has lasted 11 matches. The team had a great season, and the last round at home is a great chance to thank the fans for their support. Also, note that Alverca won in the first round, which only adds motivation to the hosts. The guests, in turn, look significantly weaker in the long run: victories alternate with defeats and the last two away games ended in failures. Here we take the most obvious option.

Bet: Home win
Sporting – Gil Vicente
The "Lions" will play at home in the last round and the fate of the Champions League ticket is in their hands. Gil Vicente is a strong team, but they are unlikely to have enough motivation for the last match of the season. Sporting confidently and largely won the last two championship meetings, and now it should not have problems. Too much is at stake.

Bet:Victory for the hosts with a handicap (-1.5)
Estoril – Benfica
Benfica is obliged to go through the formality and win the last match of the season, although it will most likely remain in third place. On the other hand, the match may be the last in the club for Jose Mourinho, who has unexpectedly been linked with a move to Real Madrid. Estoril, who is finishing the season mid-table, is completely superfluous in this match. The team is unlikely to be able to compete with the grandee at the end of the season.

Round Summary
The season in the Portuguese Primeira has come to an end. As it turned out, there is not much intrigue left in the last round.
