Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Porto vs. Estrela Amadora

sportsmole.co.uk, 17 February 2024, 06:40
Chaves vs. Boavista (Saturday, 3.30pm)

The action continues in round 22 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga as Chaves and Boavista lock horns at the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Saturday.

Having claimed a comfortable 4-1 victory in September's reverse fixture, Os Axadrezados will head into the weekend looking to do the double over the hosts and pick up successive wins for the first time since September.

We say: Chaves 1-3 Boavista

The last three meetings between Chaves and Boavista have produced a combined 12 goals, and we anticipate an action-packed contest this weekend. Paiva's men head into the game as the more in-form side, and we are backing them to extend their dominance over the hosts.

Portimonense vs. Guimaraes (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Portimonense will be looking to pull clear of the relegation zone when they play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes in round 22 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Os Vimaranenses have failed to win each of their last three visits to the Estadio Municipal de Portimao since July 2020 and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

We say: Portimonense 1-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes

Portimonense are in for a tough 90 minutes against a well-drilled Vitoria de Guimaraes side who are pushing for a place in Europe. Pacheco's men have lost just one of their last 13 matches since November, and we see them coming away with the desired result.

Porto vs. Estrela Amadora (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Fresh off the back of a shock loss against Arouca, Porto go head-to-head with Estrela Amadora at the Estadio do Dragao in round 22 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Tricolores moved out of the relegation zone with a resounding home victory over Portimonense last time out and will be looking to pick up consecutive league wins for the first time since October.

We say: Porto 3-0 Estrela Amadora

Porto have suffered a drop-off in form of late and will head into the weekend looking to find their feet. The Dragoes boast a significantly superior and more experienced squad, and we fancy them to come away with a comfortable victory in front of their home supporters.
