Monday's Primeira Liga predictions including Boavista vs. Santa Clara

Pacos de Ferreira vs. Estoril (Monday, 7.00pm)

Pacos de Ferreira return to Primeira Liga action on Monday evening when they square off against newcomers Estoril Praia at Estadio da Mata Real.

However, while the home side are on a high after defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa Conference League, the visitors have collected four points from their first two matches back in the top flight.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-1 Estoril Praia

Given the magnitude of the upcoming fixture, do not be surprised if Pacos de Ferreira are not fully focused on this game. With that in mind, we feel that Estoril will prove good value for a point, further extending their excellent start to the season.

Boavista play host to Santa Clara on Monday night looking to build on their impressive 3-0 victory over Pacos de Ferreira in their last Primeira Liga fixture.

While that result took the home side into eighth position in the standings, Santa Clara begin matchday three down in 16th spot after collecting just one point from their opening double-header.

We say: Boavista 3-1 Santa Clara

Santa Clara find themselves in the same shoes as Pacos de Ferreira, potentially distracted by trying to progress further in Europe. That gives us enough of a reason to predict a home win, a result which would move Boavista in contention for the top six.
