Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Porto vs. Portimonense

Maritimo vs. Boavista (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Maritimo will be looking to snap their three-game winless run and kickstart their race against the drop when they play host to Boavista in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

Os Axadrezado, on the other hand, journey to the Estadio do Maritimo looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of their last seven league meetings since May 2019.

We say: Maritimo 2-1 Boavista

While Maritimo have struggled for results, they will draw inspiration from their solid record against Boavista as they are unbeaten in their last seven league encounters between the sides. Petit's side have run out of steam in recent weeks and we are backing the hosts to scrap a narrow win on Sunday.

Chaves vs. Braga (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Braga will be looking to move into second place in the Primeira Liga standings when they visit the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira to face Chaves on Sunday.

Having picked up a 1-0 victory in October's reverse fixture, the Flavienses will set out to complete an impressive league double over the visitors and move into the top half of the table.

We say: Chaves 1-2 Braga

While Braga will be looking to return to winning ways and keep their quest for an automatic Champions League spot alive, they face a resurgent Chaves side who have been solid in their last two outings. However, we are backing Jorge's men to take the positives from their draw against Porto and claim all three points here, albeit by the odd goal.

Rio Ave vs. Benfica (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Rio Ave will be looking to pick up a third consecutive league victory for the first time this season when they go head to head with Benfica in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

As Aguias, who have won their last seven matches across all competitions, journey to the Estadio dos Arcos in search of a 10th consecutive victory over the home side since December 2018.

We say: Rio Ave 0-3 Benfica

Rio Ave have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks and will head into the weekend looking to break their Benfica hoodoo. On paper, Freire's side are no match for the spirited visitors, who boast a significantly superior and more experienced squad. Benfica are currently firing on all cylinders and we are backing them to extend their winning streak against the hosts on Sunday.

Porto vs. Portimonense (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Porto and Portimonense are back in action on Sunday when they go head to head at the Estadio do Dragao in round 26 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Having lost each of the last 10 meetings between the sides since December 2018, the Alvinegros will head into the weekend desperate to get one over the hosts and pick up a morale-boosting result.

We say: Porto 3-0 Portimonense

Porto have suffered a drop-off in form and will head into the weekend in search of a pick-me-up. The Dragoes take on a floundering Portimonense side who have lost their four outings and we predict they will claim a comfortable home victory in this one.
