Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Porto vs. Moreirense

Estoril vs. Arouca (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Two sides who could go well with a win go head to head in round 18 of the Primeira Liga as Estoril Praia play host to Arouca at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Saturday.

Currently separated by just one point in the bottom half of the table, both sides have lost each of their three games since the turn of the year and will look to end this poor run.

We say: Estoril Praia 2-0 Arouca

Estoril and Arouca have both stumbled into the new year and will be looking to end their run of three consecutive defeats. While both sides are evenly matched on paper, we fancy the Canarinhos claiming all three points in front of their home supporters.

Casa Pia vs. Farense (Saturday, 6.00pm)

The action continues in round 18 of the Primeira Liga as Casa Pia welcome SC Farense to the Estadio Pina Manique in their second home game of the year on Saturday.

Having lost each of the last four meetings between the sides, the Leoes de Faro will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and pick up their first win on the road since November.

We say: Casa Pia 2-1 SC Farense

Casa Pia and Farense suffered their first defeats of the year last weekend and will both be looking to bounce back at the Estadio Pina Manique. Casa Pia's home advantage gives them a slight edge and we fancy them extending their winning streak against Mota's men.

Porto vs. Moreirense (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Porto set out in search of a seventh consecutive home victory when they square off against Moreirense at the Estadio do Dragao in round 18 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

While Os verdes e brancos picked up their first win of the year last time out they will need to be at their best as they look to end their 13-match winless run against the home side.

We say: Porto 3-1 Moreirense

Despite their impressive display against Estoril, Moreirense will need to be at their best as they face a sterner challenge in Porto. Conceicao's men have been near impenetrable at home all season and we are backing them to pick up a seventh consecutive victory at the Estadio do Dragao.
