Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Boavista vs. Braga

Moreirense vs. Arouca (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Moreirense host Arouca in their first fixture at Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Sunday, keen to notch consecutive Primeira Liga victories to begin the new campaign.

Os verdes e brancos notched a creditable 2-1 win at Farense despite complicated circumstances, while 10-man Arouca lost 1-0 to Vitoria last weekend.

We say: Moreirense 2-1 Arouca

Despite claiming 1-0 victories last season, the low-scoring encounters were anomalies in this fixture that had seen both sides score in the previous six. Moreirense and Arouca should return to the past pattern on Sunday, and we are backing the hosts to notch consecutive wins to take advantage of playing in front of their supporters.

Guimaraes vs. Estoril (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Vitoria de Guimaraes host wounded Estoril Praia in Sunday's Primeira Liga gameweek two encounter at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques keen to notch consecutive wins to start the new season.

Vitoria secured a commendable 1-0 result in round one's success over 10-man Arouca, but Estoril were not as fortunate, falling 4-1 to newly promoted Santa Clara on home soil.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 Estoril Praia

Despite their midweek exertions in Europe, Vitoria are backed to continue their unblemished start to the new season, thus notching a sixth consecutive victory over an Estoril side that have seemingly not resolved the defensive issues from the previous campaign.

Boavista vs. Braga (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Boavista head into gameweek two of the new Primeira Liga season keen to secure back-to-back wins in Sunday's match against Braga at Estadio do Bessa XXI.

A marginal 1-0 victory over Casa Pia sealed maximum points for Os Axadrezados but they must play at an even higher level against a side that have typically dominated this fixture.

We say: Boavista 1-1 Braga

While Boavista hope to catch Braga distracted on Sunday, the away side should have enough in the tank to avoid losing in Porto and extend their undefeated sequence against the hosts to seven in all competitions.
