Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Porto vs. Gil Vicente

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 August 2024, 05:15

AVS vs. Nacional (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Primeira Liga newcomers AVS and CD Nacional are in action for the first time in the 2024-25 campaign when they square off at the Estadio do Desportivo das Aves on Saturday.

the Vila das Aves outfit suffered defeat in both home and away meetings between the teams in the Segunda Liga last season and will be looking to get one over the visitors this weekend.

We say: AVS 2-1 Nacional

Having secured promotion from the Segunda Liga, AVS and Nacional will both be looking to pick up a dream start to life in the big leagues. While both sides are evenly matched on paper, AVS's home advantage gives them a slight upper hand and we fancy them to come away with a narrow victory.

Casa Pia vs. Boavista (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Casa Pia and Boavista kick off their 2024-25 Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign when they go head to head at the Estadio Pina Manique on Saturday.

Having failed to win any of the last five meetings between the two teams since August 2019, Os Axadrezados will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and begin the season as they mean to go on.

We say: Casa Pia 2-1 Boavista

The previous six meetings between Casa Pia and Boavista have produced a combined six goals and we anticipate another cagey affair this weekend. Os Axadrezados have won just one away game in the league since September 2023 and we see them struggling at the Estadio Pina Manique.

Porto vs. Gil Vicente (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Porto and Gil Vicente get their 2024-25 Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign underway when they go head to head at the Estadio do Dragao on Saturday.

The Dragoes, who clinched the Supertaca Candido de Oliveira title last weekend, will be looking to make it 13 back-to-back wins across all competitions since the start of May and begin their title challenge on a high.

We say: Porto 3-0 Gil Vicente

With the thrill from securing their first piece of silverware of the season still in the air, Porto will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence as they look to begin their league campaign on the front foot.

Bruno's men have enjoyed the better of this fixture, and given the gulf in quality between the two sides, we are backing them to secure all three points.
