Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Sporting vs. Moreirense

sportsmole.co.uk, 17 September 2023, 05:25
Gil Vicente vs. Estoril (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Two teams tied on three points at the bottom end of the Primeira Liga table will do battle on their return to action after the international break on Sunday, as Gil Vicente welcome Estoril Praia to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos.

The sides each endured slow starts in their four league games before the recent break and will now aim to bounce back with a victory.

We say: Gil Vicente 1-2 Estoril Praia

Both teams have had the international break to regroup after tough starts and will see Sunday as a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

While the sides are relatively evenly-matched, the attacking signs that the visitors have showed so far this season lead us to believe they could get over the line on their travels, with Alejandro Marques aiming to continue his clinical start to life in Portugal.

Arouca vs. Casa Pia (Sunday, 3.30pm)

On their return to action following the recent international break, Arouca and Casa Pia will both aim to continue positive starts to the Primeira Liga campaign on Sunday, when they square off at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca.

After the opening four games of the season, the hosts find themselves eighth in the Primeira Liga table with an unbeaten record, while their visitors are only one point worse off at this early stage.

We say: Arouca 2-1 Casa Pia

Armed with confidence from their positive start, which culminated in the impressive draw against Porto, and on the back of a break from competitive action, we back Arouca to take all three points on Sunday with home advantage on their side.

Guimaraes vs. Portimonense (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Vitoria de Guimaraes return to league action with a home encounter against Portimonense on Sunday evening.

The hosts were knocked out of the Taca da Liga by lower-league opposition during the international break.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 Portimonense

Despite the setback in being knocked out of the cup last week, Guimaraes should emphasise their superiority by returning to winning ways here.

Portimonense have been one of the league's poorest sides in the opening four weeks, and two thrashing against mid-table outfits already suggests another tough day could be in store.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Moreirense (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Sporting Lisbon welcome newly-promoted Moreirense to the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the Primeira Liga on Sunday night.

The hosts have arguably made the best start in the division and enter the weekend level on points with Boavista and Porto at the top.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Moreirense

With in-form attackers in the side and the team still unbeaten this season, Amorim will expect his side to comfortably get the better of Moreirense here.

The visitors gave Braga a huge scare last week, but their inability to hold out for even a draw points towards another defeat here.
