Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Estoril

Portimonense vs. Gil Vicente (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Two sides separated by just one point in the bottom half of the Primeira Liga table square off on Sunday when Portimonense welcome Gil Vicente to the Estadio Municipal de Portimao.

While Paulo Sergio's men head into the weekend looking to pick up successive wins for the first time since September, the Gilistas set out to snap their five-match winless run.

We say: Portimonense 1-0 Gil Vicente

With just one point separating Portimonense and Gil Vicente in the league table, we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao as they both push for a top-half finish. We are backing the hosts to carry on their momentum from last week's solid performance against Estoril and claim all three points on Sunday.

Benfica vs. Estoril (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Benfica have the chance to revive their stuttering Primeira Liga title bid when relegation-threatened Estoril Praia visit the Estadio da Luz on Sunday evening.

Back-to-back defeats have seen Benfica's lead at the summit slashed to four points, while Estoril find themselves three points clear of the drop zone at the opposite end of the table.

We say: Benfica 4-1 Estoril Praia

This clash provides Benfica with the ideal opportunity to return to winning ways and reignite their title charge, so we expect the Eagles to soar to a comfortable victory on home soil.

Santa Clara vs. Chaves (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Fresh off the back of a stunning victory over league leaders Benfica, Chaves take a trip to the Estadio de Sao Miguel to face Santa Clara in round 29 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Danildo Accioly's side, who are currently on a run of nine consecutive defeats, will be looking to stop the rot and kickstart their surge from the automatic relegation places.

We say: Santa Clara 0-2 Chaves

Buoyed by their victory over Benfica, Chaves will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence as they look to rekindle their race for a spot in Europe. We are backing the Flavienses to pick up from where they dropped off last time out and see off a Santa Clara side whose current form is nothing to write home about.

Arouca vs. Vizela (Sunday, 8.30pm)

The fight for fifth place in the Primeira Liga table will heat up on Saturday, as Arouca welcome Vizela to the Estadio Municipal de Arouca.

Thanks to an impressive run of form, the hosts recently climbed up to fifth spot and lead their seventh-placed visitors by six points with six league games left to play.

We say: Arouca 1-1 Vizela

Both teams will come into Sunday's meeting full of confidence and have the quality to hurt one another, and we anticipate a hotly-contested encounter.

Arouca know that avoiding defeat will be enough to maintain a comfortable lead over their visitors, and we see them having enough to at least take a share of the spoils at the weekend.
