Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Sporting Lisbon vs. AVS

Gil Vicente vs. Casa Pia (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Casa Pia set out in search of a third consecutive victory when they visit the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos to face Gil Vicente in round six of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

The Gilistas head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their previous five games against the visitors and will be looking to extend this impressive eight-year streak.

We say: Gil Vicente 2-2 Casa Pia

After stumbling into the season, Casa Pia have bounced back with two consecutive victories and will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence. However, Pinheiro's men have been tough to crack on home turf and we predict they will do just enough to force a share of the spoils.

Farense vs. Arouca (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Having lost their five Primeira Liga games to start the season, SC Farense will be desperate for a morale-boosting result when they play host to Arouca on Sunday.

The Arouquenses journey to the Estadio de Sao Luis without a win in any of their last five away matches since beating Braga 3-0 on April 6 and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.

We say: SC Farense 1-1 Arouca

Having stumbled into the new campaign, Farense and Arouca will head into the weekend looking to secure a morale-boosting result and we anticipate an end-to-end affair at the Estadio de Sao Luis. However, both sides are evenly matched on paper and we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts.

Sporting Lisbon vs. AVS (Sunday, 8.30pm)

It is a classic David versus Goliath clash in round six of the Portuguese Primeira Liga as reigning champions Sporting Lisbon play host to newly-promoted AVS at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Sunday.

While Ruben Amorim's men will be looking to continue from where they left off in the Champions League, the Vila das Aves outfit will head into the weekend seeking to end their run of two back-to-back away defeats and secure one of their biggest results of the season.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 4-0 AVS

While early signs have shown that AVS have what it takes to compete in the big leagues, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a high-flying Sporting Lison side. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we predict Amorim's men will come away with all three points unscathed.
