Primeira Liga xG data

Primeira Liga xG & Expected Points

Our xG Data add-on covers the Primeira Liga and 40+ other leagues. Here's what xG looks like in practice for the Primeira Liga.

xG analyses the quality of scoring chances using shot location, type, angle, goalkeeper positioning, distance from goal and surrounding players. The model is trained on millions of historical shots, every shot you query gets its own xG value between 0 and 1.

16 MAY 2026 · Fixture 19502737

Famalicãovs Alverca

Alverca

Home xG0.67

Away xG0.64

Almost identical xG, both sides created chances worth less than a single goal. Famalicão converted theirs to win 1–0. xG 0.67 vs 0.64 is as tight as Primeira Liga fixtures get.

19 APR 2026 · Fixture 19502704

Sporting CPvs Benfica

Benfica

Home xG1.98

Away xG2.29

O Clássico de Lisboa decided 2–1 to Benfica. The xG gap was thin (1.98 vs 2.29), Benfica's chance quality just edged Sporting's, and they took theirs. The model rated it almost a draw.

16 MAY 2026 · Fixture 19502738

Sporting CPvs

Gil Vicente

Home xG1.62

Away xG0.87

Sporting controlled chance quality by almost 2× (1.62 vs 0.87) and finished it on the scoreboard, 3–0. xGoT was 2.24 vs 0.18, every Sporting shot on target was high-value.

16 MAY 2026 · Fixture 19502741

Casa Piavs Rio Ave

Rio Ave

Home xG2.44

Away xG0.50

Casa Pia generated almost 5× the chance quality (2.44 vs 0.50) and still only drew 1–1. Shooting performance was −1.04, the textbook xG story of a team that deserved more than they got.

Expected Points: who's over- or underperforming the table

Beyond match-level xG, our Expected Points endpoint converts cumulative xG into projected league points, so you can show users which clubs are punching above their weight and which are quietly heading for trouble.

How far back does Primeira Liga historical data go?

We cover the full Primeira Liga back to the 2005/06 season, with deeper historical coverage in the most recent seasons. That includes final standings, match results, top scorers, and squad lists for every season, queryable by season_id. Recent seasons also include statistics, lineups, and xG.

Can I access Liga Portugal 2 (the second tier) as well?

Yes. Liga Portugal 2 is covered with the same data depth (fixtures, results, lineups, statistics, top scorers, standings).

Does the Primeira Liga API include live scores?

Yes. Live scores update in real time during every Primeira Liga fixture, with goals, cards, substitutions, and minute-by-minute events all available through the same fixtures endpoint (GET /v3/football/livescoers/).

What does the Primeira Liga API cost?

Plans start at €29/month (Starter, 5 leagues). Growth is €99/month (30 leagues), Pro is €249/month (120 leagues), and Enterprise is a custom quote covering all 2,300+ competitions. Every paid plan includes a 14-day free trial. The Primeira Liga is included from Starter upwards if you select it as one of your 5 leagues, or available on every higher tier.

Can I get Primeira Liga predictions?

Yes. Our Predictions API has been refined since 2017 and outputs probabilities for every Primeira Liga fixture across 20+ markets: 1X2, double chance, BTTS, over/under, correct score, half-time/full-time, asian and european handicaps, total corners, total cards, clean sheet, anytime goalscorer, and more. Predictions become available 21 days before kick-off and are updated daily.

Which Primeira Liga stats are available (xG, shots, possession)?

Every Primeira Liga fixture comes with the full statistics object: goals, shots (total, on target, off target, blocked), big chances created and missed, corners, crosses, offsides, ball possession, pass accuracy, tackles, interceptions, blocks, saves, fouls, yellow and red cards. Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Points (xPts) are available through our xG Data add-on.

Are Portuguese clubs in European competitions covered?

Yes. Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and qualifying rounds are all covered. Porto, Benfica, Sporting CP and Sporting Braga's European fixtures sit in their own competition IDs (UCL = 2, UEL = 5, UECL = 2286), but the same player and team objects flow through so you can build cross-competition profiles on the same IDs.

Why Primeira Liga matters

Portugal's top flight punches well above its weight

The Primeira Liga is the production line of European football. Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Bruno Fernandes, João Félix, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias, every one of them developed in Portugal before commanding nine-figure transfer fees abroad. That's why scouts, fantasy operators, analytics platforms and betting brands treat Primeira Liga data as a leading indicator, not a niche league.

Porto, Benfica and Sporting CP have shared every title since 2001/02, and all three regularly reach the knockout rounds of the Champions League and Europa League. For developers, that means a high-signal dataset: 18 clubs, 306 matches a season, three globally relevant brands, and a constant churn of future Ballon d'Or candidates.
