Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Porto

Estrela Amadora vs. Nacional (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Two sides struggling at the bottom of the Primeira Liga table are set to come together on Sunday afternoon when Estrela Amadora host Nacional at Estadio Jose Gomes.

The hosts are 17th in the table with just six points from their first 10 games, while the visitors are 15th in the standings with eight points from their opening nine fixtures.

We say: Estrela Amadora 1-2 Nacional

The hosts suffered a humiliating 5-1 loss last time out, while the visitors will be high on confidence following their 2-0 win, and we expect that to help Nacional secure another win here.

Santa Clara vs. Guimaraes (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Two sides level on points go head-to-head in round 11 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga as Santa Clara play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio de Sao Miguel on Sunday.

Having won both home and away meetings between the two teams last season, Os Vimaranenses will head into the weekend looking to extend their recent dominance over the hosts and make it three wins from three in November.

We say: Santa Clara 1-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes

Santa Clara and Vitoria de Guimaraes have enjoyed a solid start to the Primeira Liga campaign and find themselves level on points in the top half of the league standings.

While both sides will look to get one over the other and strengthen their position in the table, Os Vimaranenses are unbeaten in seven of their last eight encounters and we fancy them to come away with all three points.

Braga vs. Sporting Lisbon (Sunday, 6.45pm)

Fresh off the back of dismantling Manchester City in the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon return to action in the Primeira Liga when they visit Braga on Sunday.

With his move to Manchester United imminent, Ruben Amorim will be in the Leoes' dugout for the last time this weekend as they look to secure their first win at the Estadio Braga Municipal since August 2021.

We say: Braga 1-3 Sporting Lisbon

While Braga will be looking to secure their seventh league win and spoil Amorim's farewell, Sporting Lisbon boasts the firepower needed to get the job done and we fancy them to maintain their 100% Primeira Liga record with another dominant display at the Estadio Braga Municipal.

Benfica vs. Porto (Sunday, 8.45pm)

Benfica and Porto renewed their heated rivalry this weekend as they go head-to-head at the Estadio da Luz in round 11 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Having stormed to an emphatic 5-0 victory when the two sides met at the Estadio do Dragao in March, the visitors will head into the weekend looking to make it two wins from their two games against As Aguias this year.

We say: Benfica 3-2 Porto

In the first edition of the heated rivalry between Benfica and Porto this season, we anticipate an end-to-end affair at the Estadio da Luz as both sides look to get the better of each other and move within touching distance of league leaders Sporting Lisbon.

Home advantage gives Benfica a slight edge, and while we expect Porto to put up a fight this weekend, we are backing Lage's men to come away with the desired result.
