The Golden Nuggets: Extras

By Sports Magician

Benfica v Rio Ave



Sunday May 9th 18.00 (GMT)

Benfica only need a point to win the title on Sunday but they can do so in style as they have done for much of the season. The Super Eagles have been outstanding at home this season with a 13-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) record, as well as banging in an astonishing 44 goals in the process at the Stadium of Light. Rio Ave travel to the champions elect with nothing at stake and will have to play the role of cannon fodder. The match is likely to be the last for Angel Di Maria in a Benfica shirt as the Argentina starlet looks set for a big money move to either Spain or England following the World Cup. Expect a tidal wave of attacking football from Benfica as Oscar Cardozo tries to end the season as top goalscorer to cap off what would be a prolific campaign.

PICK: 4*BENFICA TO SCORE OVER 3.5 GOALS @ 3.50 (SPORTINGBET)


Estudiantes v Rosario Central



Sunday May 9th 18.10 (GMT)

Estudiantes are two wins away from the Clausura title and great value is on offer for them to win this weekend at home against lowly Rosario. Estudiantes are as short as 1.30 to win, which is far nearer the mark in terms of a fair price than what we are able to benefit from. Los Pinchas are 7-1-1 at home and have only conceded 3 goals in those 9 matches. Rosario have been the draw specialists on the road, taking a point on six occasions. Estudiantes have won five on the spin and Rosario are unlikely to be able to spoil the party as the side captained by Juan Sebastian Veron attempt to defend the Copa Libertadores title as well as securing the Clausura.

PICK: 5*ESTUDIANTES BEAT ROSARIO CENTRAL @ 1.44 (CORAL)
