Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Vitoria de Guimaraes

Portimonense vs. Vizela (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Portimonense will be looking to snap their three-game losing streak when they play host to Vizela at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao in round 25 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Having picked up a 1-0 victory in October's reverse fixture, the Vizelenses will set out to complete an impressive double over the hosts and pick up successive away wins for the first time this season.

We say: Portimonense 1-2 Vizela

With just three points separating Portimonense and Vizela in the league table, we expect an exciting contest with both sides taking the game to each other. The Portimao outfit have been impressive on home turf in recent weeks and we anticipate that they will return to winning ways on Saturday.

Arouca vs. Pacos de Ferreira (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Seeking to pick up a third consecutive home win for the first time this season, Arouca welcome Pacos de Ferreira at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 25 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The visitors will head into the weekend looking to get one over the Arouquenses, having failed to win any of their previous seven meetings between the teams since November 2016.

We say: Arouca 1-2 Pacos de Ferreira

Arouca have put together a solid run of results in recent weeks as they continue their hunt for a first appearance in Europe since the 2016-17 campaign. However, we predict that Pacos de Ferreira will build on their impressive display against Santa Clara and pick up a slender victory.

Benfica vs. Guimaraes (Saturday, 6.00pm)

High-flying Benfica continue their charge for a record-extending 38th Primeira Liga title as they lock horns with Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday.

Having failed to win any of the last 20 meetings between the sides, Os Vimaranenses will be desperate to get one over the hosts and make it back-to-back away wins in the league for the first time this season.

We say: Benfica 3-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes

Not only have Benfica enjoyed a superb domestic campaign, but they have also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Schmidt's side have been imperious in the history of this fixture and we anticipate another one-sided affair with As Aguias prevailing once again.

Estoril vs. Chaves (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Looking to snap their run of five successive defeats, Estoril Praia play host to Chaves at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in round 25 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Flavienses, who ended their four-game winless run last time out, head into the weekend seeking to pick up consecutive league wins for the first time this season and move into the top half of the table.

We say: Estoril Praia 1-1 Chaves

Buoyed by their victory over Portimonense, Chaves will head into the weekend with their morale high as they look to move into the top half of the table. However, Estoril Praia cannot be ruled out, given their home advantage. While both sides are evenly-matched and capable of picking up the win, we predict that the game will end in a stalemate.
