Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Sporting Lisbon vs. Boavista

Chaves vs. Guimaraes (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Two sides with contrasting Primeira Liga ambitions this season will meet this weekend when Chaves take on Vitoria de Guimaraes at Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts' primary goal will be to avoid the drop the term as they sit bottom of the table after 25 matches, while the visitors are gunning for a spot in Europe, currently in fifth place in the league standings.

We say: Chaves 1-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes

Vitoria notched up their biggest win of the season against this opponent in the reverse fixture and are carrying solid form into this contest. They have also beaten Chaves in each of their last five encounters, outscoring them 13-1 in that time, and we feel they will add another three points to their tally in this one.

Moreirense vs. Arouca (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Two sides separated by five points and one place in the top half of the table go head to head in round 26 of the Primeira Liga as Moreirense play host to Arouca on Sunday.

The Arouquenses journey to the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of their last four league meetings since December 2016.

We say: Moreirense 1-1 Arouca

Looking at recent results between Moreirense and Arouca, we anticipate a cagey affair on Sunday. Both sides are evenly matched on paper and we predict that they will cancel out each other's efforts.

Casa Pia vs. Benfica (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Casa Pia will be looking to bounce back from last week's humbling loss to Estrela Amadora when they play host to Benfica at the Estadio Pina Manique in round 29 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

As Aguias head into the weekend fresh off the back of reaching the quester-finals of the Europa League and will be looking to pick up their first away win in the league since January.

We say: Casa Pia 0-2 Benfica

Brimming with confidence from their midweek European success, Benfica will head into the weekend looking to return to winning ways. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we are backing Schmidt's men to come away with all three points.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Boavista (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Still licking their wounds from their midweek Europa League exit, Sporting Lisbon play host to Boavista in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Os Axadrezados have lost each of their last 10 visits to the Estadio Jose Alvalade since January 2015 and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Boavista

Sporting Lisbon will look to quickly move in from their midweek Europa League disappointment as they continue their quest for the league title. Amorim's men boast the firepower needed to get the job done, and given their outstanding home record, we are tipping them to claim maximum points this weekend.
