Decided to place a bet in Portugal today (some of the other games look "fishy" to me today and I'll stay away...e.g. as I said it before Lucílio Batista is a joke of a ref and after what he did lately in games like Belenenses-Porto and Boavista-Benfica he was named to officiate the Sporting-Marítimo game today...what a joke...).

Well, back to what really matters.
My bet for today:

Leiria-Leixões:
Leiria sits at the bottom of the table and only a miracle would save them from relegation this season.

Leixões also fighting to avoid relegation needs to get something out of this game. They're one of the two teams in Portugal that still haven't won an away game this season (even though they were close to do it a few times before).
I think they'll do it today but as they're the "draw Kings" in Portugal I'll take the "away PK" bet.
My bet: away PK;

Good luck!

P.S.) and ref Lucílio Batista did it again...handing Sporting (they had an awful game) a penalty in a silver plate so they could tie the game at 1-1 in the 1st half ...I bet this guy will get another top game next weekend...unbelievable ...

My bet for today:

Setúbal-Amadora
Setúbal is having a great season but they seem to be running out of steam lately (0-1-2 record in their last 3 games including a 5-0 defeat at Belenenses last week) as they used the same 11 or 12 players all season long (no bench options).
Setúbal is still fighting for a UEFA Cup spot in the league.
Today they will be without defenders Janício and Robson (suspended) as well as their coach Carlos Carvalhal (also suspended).
Amadora is now the only team without any away wins in the Portuguese league so far this season (with a 0-7-6 away record) and they surely need at least a draw in order to stay away from the relegation zone.
They also have two players suspended today: Midfielder Mateus and defender Hélder Cabral.
This is a bit risky but I'll take Amadora "not to lose".
My bet: away +0.5AH (Asian Handicap);

Good luck!

Hi ural,

The Cup finalists in Portugal are Porto and Sporting.
Setúbal is looking to get a UEFA Cup in the league table classification (only way they can achieve it).
