With a reform aimed at professionalizing the sport, the Portugal Primeira Liga competition was founded in 1934 as Campeonato da Liga da Primeira Divisão under the FPF Federação Portuguesa de Futebol or Portuguese Football Federation. The league adopted the round-robin format and counted initially with eight teams: Académico do Porto, Académica Coimbra, Benfica, Belenenses, Porto (Champion), Sporting CP, Vitória de Setúbal, and União Lisboa.

What is the Portugal Primeira Liga?

The Portugal Primeira Liga is the country's top-flight league, organized by the LPFP Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional, an independent body under the authority of the FPF Portuguese Football Federation that operates top professional football leagues in the Portugal.

The LPFP Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional was founded in 1978 to separate professional football from the FPF Portuguese Football Federation, overseeing the Portugal Primeira Liga as the top-flight league and the Liga Portugal 2 as the second tier, with 18 teams each. The FPF manages the Liga 3 as a third tier, with 20 teams, and the Campeonato de Portugal, a regional amateur fourth tier with 54 clubs divided into four groups. 

Additionally, the LFP administers other major national competitions, like the Taça de Portugal, or Cup of Portugal, a knock-out tournament that includes teams from the top three levels of the Portuguese Football Pyramid, and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, also known as the Portuguese Super Cup, played since 1979 between the Portugal Primeira Liga and Taça de Portugal Cup champions.

The season is played between August and May, where each club plays against each other twice, in a double round-robin format, at home and away, for 34 matchdays, with the usual three points per win, one point per draw, and no points per loss. Teams are ranked by points, and in case of a tie, other criteria are considered, starting with goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head score, goals scored in the matchup, away goals in the matchup, and total away goals in the season. A tiebreaker match played at a neutral venue would decide the final placement in case of a persisting tie that would define the Championship, qualification to other competitions, and relegation.

The Portugal Primeira Liga includes a relegation and promotion system in which, after every season, the three bottom teams in the table are relegated to Liga Portugal 2, with teams in this second-tier level being promoted to take their place. The relegation system gives an exciting edge to the competition in the fight to avoid relegation. Only three teams have avoided relegation from the Portugal Primeira Liga: Benfica, Porto, Sporting.

The top two teams qualify for the following UEFA Champions League. Since the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europe League champions earn a direct berth, the league could have extra qualifying spots if these come from the Portugal Primeira Liga. The third team, alongside the Taça de Portugal champion, qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, the continental second-tier club competition. The fourth place earns a UEFA Europa Conference League berth, the third-tier European tournament.

How to Bet on the Portugal Primeira Liga

BetPhoenix.ag not only offers you the best Portugal Primeira Liga Odds, but we also provide you with many helpful tools, like this Portugal Primeira Liga odds guide, to introduce you to the numerous moneymaking opportunities available when betting on the Portugal Primeira Liga betting lines, helping you improve your chances of winning.

Portugal Primeira Liga Point Spreads

The Portugal Primeira Liga Point Spreads bets, similarly to other major sports like football, baseball, and basketball, are based on a handicapped margin of victory established on a projected game result. If a Portugal Primeira Liga betting lines show a point spread of 1.5 for an upcoming game, the favorite team (-1.5) must win by at least two goals for your bet to be a winner, while betting on the underdog (+1.5) can lose by one goal, tie the game or win outright for your bet to be a win. The .5 fraction is used to avoid a push in the wagers.

This is an example of a Portugal Primeira Liga Point Spread, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Points Spread Odds

Sporting -1.5

Porto +1.5

In this case, the -1.5 points spread indicates that Sporting is the favorite to win by a margin of two goals against Porto. Conversely, Porto is the underdog and can lose by a margin of less than two goals. These are the likely results of this bet:

· Sporting wins by two or more goals: Sporting bettors win.

· Sporting wins by one goal: Porto bettors win.

· The game is a draw/tie: Porto bettors win.

· Porto wins the game: Porto bettors win.

Portugal Primeira Liga Moneylines

Portugal Primeira Liga Moneyline is always the most straightforward betting option. Your pick reflects who you expect to be the outright winner of the game. A negative odds value indicates the favorite, while a positive value indicates an underdog.

The two-way Portugal Primeira Liga Moneyline, in which the Portugal Primeira Liga betting lines are focused on either one of the two sides winning, removing the impact of a tie or draw, in which case the bet would be a push.

This is an example of a Two-Way Portugal Primeira Liga Moneyline, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Moneyline

Sporting -140

Porto +120

In this case, if you bet to win $100 on Sporting -140, as favorites, you would need to risk $140, while betting $100 on Porto +120 as an underdog, you would receive $120 if FC Porto wins the game. If the match ends in a tie, the wager would be a push, which means the bet is voided and refunded.

This is an example of a Three-Way Portugal Primeira Liga Moneyline, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Moneyline

Sporting -120

Draw +160

Porto +110

Portugal Primeira Liga Over/Under Totals

The Portugal Primeira Liga Totals bet is based on a projected final score that includes both teams, independently on which side wins. Portugal Primeira Liga Totals are represented in an Over/Under set, where you can pick if you expect this result to be over or under this estimated line.

This is an example of a Portugal Primeira Liga Over/Under Totals as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Portugal Primeira Liga Totals – Sporting vs. Porto

Total: 2.5

Over odds: -120

Under odds: +110

In this case, the Portugal Primeira Liga Over/Under of 2.5 means that if the match ends with a combined score of three or more goals, the Over wins; if the total score is two or less, the Under wins. If you bet to win $100 on the Over -120, you would need to risk $120 and win if the game ends with 3 goals or more. Betting $100 on the Under +110, you would receive $110 if the game ends with 2 goals or less.

Portugal Primeira Liga Parlays

Portugal Primeira Liga Parlay is a wager type in which two or more Portugal Primeira Liga betting lines are combined to form a single wager with a considerably higher payout. However, all selected Portugal Primeira Liga betting lines must win for the parlay wager to win. You can combine point spreads, moneylines, over/under totals, and other wagers. You can also combine favorites and underdogs. The more bets you add to your Portugal Primeira Liga parlay, the odds multiply accordingly in your favor.

Using the example, a two-line Portugal Primeira Liga Parlay could be as follows:

Sporting -120

Sporting vs. Porto Total: Over 2.5 -120

By combining the Sporting Moneyline -120 and Total Over 2.5 +120 for the Sporting vs. Porto game on a 2-team parlay risking $100, the combined odds would be +236 with a payout for this parlay of $336.10, about 3 times your bet, instead of risking $100 to bet on each separately.
