Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Gil Vicente

Chaves vs. Farense (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Chaves set out in search of their first win since the turn of the year when they play host to SC Farense at the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in round 20 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Having suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat when the sides met in August's reverse fixture, the Flavienses will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors and end their seven-game winless run.

We say: Chaves 1-2 SC Farense

The last four meetings between Chaves and Farense have produced a combined 14 goals and we anticipate another action-packed contest this weekend. Mota's men are the more in-form side and we fancy them to come away with the desired result.

Vizela vs. Guimaraes (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Fresh off the back of a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Arouca, Vizela play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio do FC Vizela in round 20 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Both sides have had a contrasting campaign so far, with Os Vimaranenses on course to secure European football while the hosts currently find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table.

We say: Vizela 0-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes

Vizela have endured a rough start to the new year and are in for another tough 90 minutes against a Guimaraes side who will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's loss to Gil Vicente. Pacheco's men have won six of the last eight meetings between the sides and we are backing them to come out on top once again.

Benfica vs. Gil Vicente (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Benfica continue their title defence on Sunday even when they play host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio da Luz in round 20 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

The Gilistas have enjoyed an impressive start to the year and will head into the weekend seeking to make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since April 2021.

We say: Benfica 3-1 Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente have turned a corner in recent weeks but will need their A-game against a high-flying Benfica side. As Aguias are currently firing on all cylinders in the league and we are tipping them to come out victorious in front of their home supporters.

Estoril vs. Estrela Amadora (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Two sides level on points in the bottom half of the Portuguese Primeira Liga table go head-to-head on Sunday as Estoril Praia play host to Estrela Amadora.

With their survival hopes potentially hinging on this result, we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota as both sides look to pull clear of the danger zone.

We say: Estoril Praia 2-1 Estrela Amadora

Given the stakes of the game, we anticipate a thrilling contest between the two sides who are looking to pull clear of the danger zone. While both sides are evenly matched on paper, Estoril's home advantage gives them a slight edge and we fancy the Canarinhos to claim all three points, albeit by the odd goal.

Braga vs. Moreirense (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Braga will be aiming to secure an immediate return to winning ways when they welcome Moreirense to Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday.

For the visitors, securing back to back wins for the first time since November will be the major objective as they make the trip this weekend.

We say: Braga 2-0 Moreirense

Braga's recent home form makes for good reading and they will back themselves to get the job done on their own patch once more. We are backing the hosts to cruise to a routine win in the end.
