Benfica are on their way to the title, ten points ahead of second-placed Porto after 26 games played. The 27th has a special meaning, especially for the dragon, who has one last chance to close the distance and somehow restart the championship. Will we have an open game with goals or a cautious game with a small number of goals, like lately?
It seems not, but there are other interesting games on this tour in Portugal, such as the reception of Braga in Estoril Praia, the visit of Sporting to Casa Pia or the visit of Chávez to Gil Vicente, but there are also emotions abroad, and Manchester United is trying to react, against Everton, a string of bad results and José Mourinho, who led Roma in Turin. However, strong dishes are served at Anfield, at Liverpool-Arsenal, which can carry a lot of weight in the fight for the English title.
Portuguese League: risk the winner? We are not!

Tip: under 2.5 heads. In the last six receptions from eagle to dragon, there were less than 2.5 goals.
There is a title game. Or with the potential to be. If Benfica beats Porto at the Estadio da Luz this Friday, the trophy will be in their pocket, and even in the event of a draw, it will be difficult for the blue and white players to get past the text. In the event of the triumph of the blue and white, the championship will resume again, albeit with a margin that is comfortable for Lisbon.
Recent history tells us that Benfica have only won two of their last ten home matches against Porto in the Portuguese league and four away wins, but this season the Reds are very strong and even beat the dragon. But classic is classic, and it’s best to stick to more obvious trends. And they tell us that, there have not been more than 2.5 goals scored in any of their last six matches at Luz. Looks like history might repeat itself.
Premier League: Toffee snack for United
Saturday, April 8, 12:30

Hint: Manchester United and over 1.5 goals.. United average 1.9 goals at home.
The 7-0 rout inflicted on away rival Liverpool touched the Red Devils, who soon after registered a series of games without a win and, apparently, forgot how to score goals. However, victory at home against Everton should smile on the team of Bruno Fernandez and Diogo Dalot, despite the fact that there have always been draws between the two teams in the last three seasons at Old Trafford.
It’s just that Everton isn’t the best. A place at the bottom of the table haunts the Liverpool team, and away from home it registers only one victory in 14 matches. 2013 is the latest triumph in the United stronghold, which appears as a favourite. The Red Devils average 1.9 goals at home, while the Toffees conceded 1.7. everything points to a home win in the match with over 1.5 goals. The Betclic coefficient is good for the multiplier.
Portuguese League: quarry on the path of the Canarian reaction
Saturday, April 8, 20:30

Tip: Braga and under 4.5 goals. Only three games in Braga and one away from Estoril have over 4.5 goals scored.
The final round marked the return of Estoril Praia to victory after six consecutive losses. At the same time, Minho went to Chavez to play well and win 2-1. However, in Pedrera, the men of the house should be in charge. Arsenal’s players have won nine of their last ten receptions against Estoril Praia, with only one draw, and even Canarinho’s home win over Gil Vicente again showed that the team is far from the best.
Braga are the clear favorites to beat Pedreira, with more or less difficulty, but it’s unlikely that there will be a shower of goals. In 12 games in Braga’s citadel, only three had more than 4.5 goals scored, and only in one game did the players of the line have such a goal record..
Serie A: teams that like to score early
Saturday, April 8, 17:30

Hint: Total goals in the 1st half are over 0.5.. Over 0.5 goals were scored in 62% of first halves in Turin and in 86% of Roma’s away matches.
Both Torino and Roma are teams that could leave us stuck in betting on the winner. Unevenness is the slogan, and the men from Turin are almost perfectly tied for the top three at home (5W 4E 4D). Mourinho’s team, in turn, lost three of the last five games and did not win four tours (three defeats), so we do not risk the outcome.
Let’s look at the goals. Torino only scores 0.9 goals per game at home, the Romans reach 1.3 goals away, but what stands out is the number of goals scored in the first half. IN In 62% of games in Turin, there are more than 0.5 goals before the break. The same happens in 86% of visits to Roma. The Betclic coefficient for this market falls well several times..
Premier League: Goals and spectacle guaranteed at Anfield
Sunday, April 9, 16:30

Hint: both teams will score over 2.5 goals.. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in seven of the last ten meetings at Anfield and goals have been scored in both.
If someone had been told at the beginning of the season that Liverpool would be slightly above mid-table in April and Arsenal would be at the top of the Premier League, someone would be in a madhouse. However, this is the reality of the English league. The Reds alternate (few) brilliant games with other mediocre ones, while the gunners remain regular and deadly. And, above all, the unpredictability of the men at Anfield, which makes us look at the goals of this game.
Firstly, we know in advance that it will be a game between two attacking teams – in the first round in London, Arsenal won with a score of 3:2. The spectacle is guaranteed and if we look at the recent history of the two formations at Anfield we can see that seven of the last ten matches have had goals from both teams and over 2.5 goals. Betclic is high for such a strong trend.
Portuguese League: Lion without mercy but with few away goals
Sunday, April 9, 18:00
Photo: gettyimages
Tip: Sporting and under 4.5 goals.. The Lions are favorites but only score 1.4 away goals and the Geese are solid.
Casa Pia maintains the good performance at home since the start of the season, with three wins and a draw in the last four games, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Geese are less competent at this stage of the season. with a sharp drop at the exit or when they have to retreat in front of stronger opponents.
triumph in a row, three as a guest, and now going to Jamor as a clear favorite. The fact that Casa Pia only scores 0.9 goals per game as a starter could lead us to a lion-free triumph, but since Alvalade doesn’t go beyond 1.4 away goals, let’s play it safe and play. we bet on the success of the lion in the match with less than 4.5 goals – the geese did not have more games at home.
Portuguese League: Few goals expected from Barcelos
Monday, April 10, 20:15
Photo: gettyimages
Hint: below 2.5. Gil Vicente (home) and Chaves (away) score about one goal per game.
Gil Vicente usually performs very well at home, recording three wins and two draws in his last five matches. Chávez, in turn, has had most of his success away from home, with five wins and three draws in 13 matches, but that trend has recently reversed and he has only won one of his last six away games.
Logic points to the victory of the men from Barcelos, but the regularity at home is recent, so this is not safe advice. The fact that both Gil Vicente (home) and Chaves (away) score about one goal per game (the Flavienses have slightly more, 1.2) makes us think there will be less than 2.5 goals in this match.
