The Portuguese Liga (Primeira Liga) consists of 18 teams. As with many other European leagues, teams progress throughout the season using the process of promotion and relegation, with the two lowest teams relegated to Segunda Liga, and the two highest teams moving up to join the Primeira Liga. The league became official in 1938, after four years as an experimental league, and has since improved its reputation within the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations). Benefica (Sport Lisboa e Benefica), the champions for the 2016-17 year will defend the title in the upcoming season, which begins in August.
The Predictor was designed to use computer estimates from the Inference Index to predict future Portuguese Liga games.
