Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Sporting Lisbon vs. Portimonense

Boavista vs. Gil Vicente (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Two sides who could make do with all three points square off in round 32 of the Primeira Liga as Boavista play host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio do Bessa on Saturday.

With just three games to go, both sides are currently separated by just two points at the wrong end of the table and will be looking to pick up a huge win in their quest for survival.

We say: Boavista 2-2 Gil Vicente

With just two points separating the two sides in the relegation conversation, we anticipate an end-to-end affair at the Estadio do Bessa as they both go all out in search of maximum points. However, we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

Rio Ave vs. Guimaraes (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Vitoria de Guimaraes continue their push for European football on Saturday when they take a trip to the Estadio dos Arcos to face Rio Ave in round 32 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

With only three games to go, the Vilacondenses find themselves just four points above the relegation zone and will be looking to secure a vital win in their bid to secure their top-flight status.

We say: Rio Ave 1-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes

With just three games left to go, Vitoria de Guimaraes must avoid any slip-ups if they are to leapfrog either Braga or Porto to a spot in Europe. Pacheco's men have enjoyed the better of this fixture, and we see them coming away with all three points, albeit by the odd goal.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Portimonense (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Sporting Lisbon will be looking to take another step towards securing the Primeira Liga title when they play host to Portimonense at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Saturday.

The Alvinegros, on the other hand, find themselves at the opposite end of the table and will head into the weekend looking to pick up a potentially-vital victory in their battle to beat the drop.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Portimonense

While Portimonense will be looking to return to winning ways, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a spirited Sporting Lisbon side who are currently firing on all cylinders. We predict Amorim's side will pick up where they left off against Porto and return to winning ways in front of their home supporters.

Chaves vs. Porto (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Chaves host Porto at the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Saturday evening, hoping to boost their survival fight.

The hosts find themselves deep in the relegation zone, just one point above bottom club Vizela, while the visitors are looking to hold on to the Europa League spot.

We say: Chaves 0-2 Porto

Relegation-battling Chaves are desperate for points here, but they lack the quality to hurt a side like Porto, who have dominated this fixture over the years. We expect the visitors to pick up a win here.
