Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Porto vs. Braga

Farense vs. Estoril (Sunday, 3.30pm)

SC Farense and Estoril Praia square off in Primeira Liga on Sunday looking to improve on a poor start to the season.

While the visitors sit in 13th position in the standings, the home side hold up the rest of the division by sitting at the bottom with just one point.

We say: SC Farense 1-2 Estoril Praia

With Farense's solitary point coming last time out, they will be on a relative high. However, Estoril possess the greater quality of these two sides, leading us to predict a hard-earned victory for the visitors.

Guimaraes vs. Boavista (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Fresh off the back of a comfortable victory in their Conference League opener, Vitoria de Guimaraes play host to Boavista in round eight of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Having failed to win any of their last 10 visits to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, Os Axadrezados will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and end their six-game winless run.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 Boavista

Vitoria de Guimaraes will be licking their lips as they take on a Boavista side who have struggled to find their feet this season. Borges' men picked up an impressive Conference League victory in midweek and we are backing them to continue their fine run of results in front of their home supporters this weekend.

Nacional vs. Benfica (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Fresh off the back of an emphatic Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, Benfica return to action in the Primeira Liga when they visit the Estadio da Madeira to face Nacional on Sunday.

The Alvinegros head into the weekend without a win in any of their last 20 matches against the visiting side since December 2018 and will be looking to bring this poor run to an end.

We say: Nacional 0-4 Benfica

While Nacional will be looking to build on last weekend's stalemate with Famalicao, they have their work cut out against a Benfica side who are currently firing on all cylinders. Given the gulf in quality and depth between the two teams, we are backing Lage's men to come away with a comfortable victory at the Estadio da Madeira.

Porto vs. Braga (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Fresh off the back of contrasting midweek results in Europe, Porto and Braga return to action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they go head-to-head at the Estadio do Dragao on Sunday.

Having lost the last three meetings between the teams, Os Arcebispos will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since March.

We say: Porto 3-1 Braga

Braga have lost each of their last four Primeira Liga visits to the Estadio do Dragao and are in for another tough 90 against a Porto side who are unbeaten in 10 straight competitive home games.

While we expect Carvalhal's men to put up a fight, Porto boasts the firepower needed to get the job done, and we are backing them to come away with all three points in front of their home supporters.
