Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Vizela vs. Benfica

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


Arouca vs. Casa Pia (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Seeking to make it four wins in five home games this year, Arouca welcome Casa Pia to the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 22 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Having failed to win any of the last three meetings between the sides, Os Gansos will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and strengthen their claim for a spot in Europe.

We say: Arouca 1-1 Casa Pia


Arouca and Casa Pia have enjoyed a solid campaign and both find themselves in contention for European football next season. Each side are evenly-matched heading into the weekend and we predict that they will cancel out each other's efforts at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca.

Maritimo vs. Santa Clara (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Both in a heated race to beat the drop, Santa Clara and Maritimo go head to head in a relegation six-pointer at the Estadio do Maritimo on Saturday.

The two sides are currently separated by just two points and one place at the wrong end of the Primeira Liga standings, making this contest a nicely poised and an exciting one.

We say: Maritimo 2-1 Santa Clara


With just two points separating the sides in the league table, Saturday's game should be a real cracker and Maritimo and Santa Clara continue their race to beat the drop. Given that Gomes's side will have the extra support of the home fans, we are backing them to do just enough to secure a slender victory.

Vizela vs. Benfica (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Benfica continue their pursuit of a first Primeira Liga title since the 2018-2019 campaign when they go head to head with Vizela at the Estadio do FC Vizela on Saturday.

While the hosts will be looking to snap their three-game winless run, As Aguias set out to pick up a sixth consecutive league victory and extend their lead at the top of the league standings.

We say: Vizela 1-3 Benfica


While Vizela have shown resilience on home soil in recent weeks, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a Benfica side who are on a roll. As Aguias are currently firing on all cylinders and given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we are backing them to ease to their sixth consecutive league victory.
