The Portuguese Primeira Liga is one of the most spectacular championships on the Old Continent. Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon contribute to the high quality, occupying the first places with the most trophies. In addition, the Portuguese clubs can boast four Champions League titles (2 each for Porto and Benfica) and seven finals in the other european competition - Europa League.

The format is similar to that of many other championships. There are 18 teams, playing a total of 34 games per season. The champion wins the title and qualifies directly in the groups of the Champions League, the runner-up will have to "earn" the place and will go through the playoffs of the tournament, and the next two teams join the Europa League. The last two teams are relegated, and the leaders in Segunda (second level) are promoted.

The Primera Liga has had professional status since 1934. Interesting fact is that only five teams have become champions since then, all based in Lisbon or Porto. The leader in gold medals is Benfica - 37 times, followed by Porto - 29 and Sporting - 18. Belenenses and Boavista have a total of two titles, won in 1946 and 2001, respectively.

The Portuguese giants are regular participants in the European tournaments, together with the team of Sporting Braga. Adding the frequent transfers from the top championships in Europe, this maintains a high level of the championship. The meetings of the leading four teams are very interesting, they are played at fast pace, which makes them attractive to the spectators. Most of them are broadcasted live on the streaming channels of British bookmakers.

The championship is suitable for several types of bets: Asian Handicap, Corners and Under. When the giants of the league accept teams from the bottom half of the table, look for an easy win with a big difference. Benfica and Porto win their home games relatively easily, scoring three or more goals each.

The highest odds for the Portuguese Primera Liga, which turn out to be profitable, is the Goal/Goal market. Bet on this market when one of the leading teams is visiting a team from the middle of the table. In most cases, the odds are around @ 2.00, and the outsider even leads in the result. In the 2019/2020 season, almost 50% of the matches ended with an exchange of goals.
