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

Famalicao vs. Gil Vicente (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Famalicao will be looking to build on their midweek Taca de Portugal victory when they lock horns with Gil Vicente at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in round 20 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

As for the Gilistas, they head into the weekend unbeaten in their last three games against the home side and will be looking to continue in the same vein.

We say: Famalicao 2-1 Gil Vicente

With just two points separating Famalicao and Gil Vicente in the league table, we anticipate an end-to-end affair with both sides taking the game to each other in search of the upper hand. The Vila Nova have put together a solid home run in recent weeks and we are backing them to come away with a slender victory

Sporting Lisbon vs. Porto (Sunday, 6.00pm)

One of the most important matches in the Portuguese football calendar sees the Leoes face the Dragoes on Sunday, when Sporting Lisbon host Porto in the Primeira Liga.

Ahead of the 246th meeting between the sides, both are some way off the other side in the 'Big Three', league-leaders Benfica.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 1-2 Porto

This will be an intriguing battle between a side very strong at home against a side who have been unbeatable for months now.

Sporting have struggled to get the upper hand against the other two Portuguese giants this season though, so Porto may just have the edge.

Maritimo vs. Braga (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Fresh off the back of reaching the semi-finals of the Taca de Portugal, Braga go head to head with Maritimo at the Estadio do Maritimo in round 20 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Having secured a resounding 5-0 victory in August's reverse fixture, Os Arcebispos will set out to complete an impressive league double over the hosts and strengthen their position in the upper echelons of the league standings.

We say: Maritimo 0-2 Braga

Following their hard-earned cup win over high-flying Benfica, Braga will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence. Jorge's side possess the firepower to get the job done at the Estadio do Maritimo and we are backing them to heap more misery on the out-of-sorts Maritimo.
