Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. AVS

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Primeira Liga fixtures, including Benfica vs. AVS.


Moreirense vs. Nacional (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Nacional will look to take a giant stride towards securing their safety in the Primeira Liga when they visit the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas to face Moreirense on Sunday.

Os verdes e brancos head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last seven home matches against Tiago Margarido's men and will be looking to extend this impressive decade-long streak.

We say: Moreirense 2-1 Nacional


Having suffered a 1-0 loss against Nacional in December's reverse fixture, ending a 12-game unbeaten run between the two sides in the process, Moreirense will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors.

While Nacional will be looking to find their feet this weekend, results on the road offer little optimism and we fancy Bacci's side to secure all three points in front of their home supporters.

Rio Ave will be looking to secure back-to-back Primeira Liga away wins for the first time this season when they visit the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques to take on Vitoria de Guimaraes on Sunday.

Second-half goals from Oscar Rivas and Gustavo Silva saw Os Vimaranenses fight back from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw when the sides met in December's reverse fixture and we anticipate another thrilling contest this weekend.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 Rio Ave


Still licking their wounds from their Taca de Portugal exit, Rio Ave will head into the weekend looking to find their feet and secure their safety. However, Vitoria de Guimaraes have been rock-solid at home this season and we are backing them to bounce back from their defeat against Benfica with all three points.

Benfica vs. AVS (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Benfica will welcome AVS to the Estadio da Luz on Sunday as they look to tighten the screws in a gripping Primeira Liga title race.

Fresh off the back of securing a spot in the Taca de Portugal final with a 4-0 second-leg win over Tirsense that wrapped up a resounding 9-0 aggregate triumph, the Reds will have their sights set firmly on picking up another emphatic victory this weekend.

We say: Benfica 4-0 AVS


Benfica are overwhelming favourites to claim all three points on Sunday, and anything less than a dominant display will come as a surprise, especially with the title race potentially hinging on goal difference.

Boavista vs. Sporting Lisbon (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Sporting Lisbon will head into Sunday's Primeira Liga clash away at Boavista with their tails up after a fruitful midweek that saw the Lions confirm their spot in the Portuguese Cup showpiece.

The Lions recorded a 2-1 victory at Rio Ave in the return leg of their Taca de Portugal semi-final clash to emerge 4-1 winners on aggregate.

We say: Boavista 0-2 Sporting Lisbon


Last weekend's win should give Boavista a confidence boost, and they may prove stubborn at home, though, even with some midweek fatigue, Sporting's quality and depth should be enough to edge past the strugglers and claim all three points.
