Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Guimaraes vs. Porto

Rio Ave vs. Estoril (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Fresh off the back of picking up their first win of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign, Estoril Praia journey to the Estadio dos Arcos to face Rio Ave on Saturday.

The Vilacondenses will head into the weekend looking to make it three home victories on the bounce for the first time since November 2022, having seen off Farense and Arouca in the first two games in front of their supporters.

We say: Rio Ave 2-1 Estoril Praia

Buoyed by their win over Nacional, Estoril Praia will head into Saturday's clash with renewed confidence as they look to put together a fine run of form. However, Rio Ave have made the Estadio dos Arcos a tough ground for any visiting side and we predict they will bounce back from their defeat against AVS this weekend.

Santa Clara vs. Estrela Amadora (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Seeking to pick up consecutive home wins for the first time this season, Santa Clara play host to Estrela Amadora in round six of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Tricolores, on the other hand, have stumbled into the new campaign and will journey to the Estadio de Sao Miguel looking to secure their first win of the season.

We say: Santa Clara 2-0 Estrela Amadora

While Estrela will be looking to get their season up and running this weekend, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a Santa Clara side who have shown they have what it takes to compete in the big leagues. That said, we predict Matos' men will bounce back from their loss against Benfica and secure a second consecutive home victory.

Guimaraes vs. Porto (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Vitoria de Guimaraes set out in search of a fourth victory on the bounce when they go head to head with Porto in round four of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Dragoes have won each of their last seven visits to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques since January 2021 and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant four-year run.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 1-3 Porto

While Guimaraes have put together a fine run of form, they have their work cut out against a stacked Porto side who have won 16 of their last 17 matches in all competitions. Bruno's men boast a solid away record in this fixture, and given the gulf in quality between the two teams, we are backing them to come away with all three points this weekend.

Moreirense vs. Famalicao (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Seeking to end their three-game winless run, Moreirense play host to Famalicao to the Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in gameweek six of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Having failed to win both home and away meetings between the teams last season, Armando Evangelista's men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and secure their fourth win of the campaign.

We say: Moreirense 2-2 Famalicao

Looking at recent meetings between Moreirense and Famalicao, we anticipate an end-to-end affair with plenty of goalmouth action. Both sides have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign and we predict both sides will cancel out each other's efforts in a high-scoring stalemate.
