Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Estoril Praia

Arouca vs. Sporting Lisbon (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Title-chasing Sporting Lisbon will be looking to open up a four-point lead at the top of the table when they take on Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 25 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Off the back of a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw with Atalanta BC in the first leg of their Europa League round-of-16 clash, the Leoes will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result ahead of next Thursday's journey to Italy.

We say: Arouca 1-3 Sporting Lisbon

Benfica vs. Estoril (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Two teams at the opposite ends of the Primeira Liga will meet on Sunday when second-placed Benfica host Estoril Praia.

The visitors are currently just outside of the relegation zone, placing pressure on each to pick up points for different reasons.

We say: Benfica 2-0 Estoril Praia

Both of their previous meetings this season have been closely contested, but considering Benfica are in the hunt to win the league at the business end of the season they will be looking to be a little more ruthless.

The gulf in class between the two teams should ultimately lead to the Eagles taking all three points here, particularly considering Estoril's poor away form.
