Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Braga vs. Benfica

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


Moreirense vs. Portimonense (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Moreirense will be looking to keep their good run of form in the Primeira Liga going when they take on Portimonense at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts head into this encounter in sixth place in the league standings and with 22 points to their names after 13 matches, while the visitors are on 15 points and sit in 11th place.

We say: Moreirense 1-0 Portimonense


Moreirense have been excellent in their first season back in the top flight and are carrying all the momentum into this one, having last tasted defeat in mid-September. The hosts are likely to prioritise keeping a clean sheet here, and we feel they will go on to edge this one by a single goal.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Chaves vs. Casa Pia (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Gamweek 14 in the Primeira Liga brings us a bottom-half clash, with Chaves taking on Casa Pia at Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts are currently in 16th place, occupying the relegation playoff spot with 10 points after 13 games, while the visitors are 13th and just three points ahead of their opponents.

We say: Chaves 1-1 Casa Pia


While Casa Pia never really looked likely to trouble Porto last week, there was enough in their performance against Portimonense to suggest that the new manager's impact could be a positive one. Chaves cannot afford to lose, though, and are pretty good on their home patch recently. This looks like a very even contest on paper, and we feel these sides will not be split at full time.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Famalicao vs. Estoril (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Famalicao will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the Primeira Liga when they lock horns with Estoril Praia at Estadio Municipal 22 de Junho on Sunday evening.

The hosts step into this encounter with 17 points after the first 13 matches this season, while the visitors have managed just 13 points to date but are on an upward trajectory.

We say: Famalicao 2-2 Estoril Praia


With a new manager at the helm, Estoril look like a side transformed and are playing free-flowing, attacking football that their opponents have struggled to contend with. Famalicao, though, are fairly solid defensively and have won the last three at this venue against this opponent. This should be an entertaining watch, but we say these sides will end level at the final whistle.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Braga vs. Benfica (Sunday, 8.30pm)

The final and undisputed pick of the games in the Primeira Liga this Sunday will see Braga square off against Benfica at Estadio Municipal de Braga.

With just two points separating the first four sides in the league, the winner of this match will move to the top of the standings overnight until Sporting Lisbon take on Porto on Monday night.

We say: Braga 3-2 Benfica


With two of the best attacks in the league on display, this could end up being a goal fest. Braga have been scoring for fun in recent weeks, and while Benfica's league form has been average since the international break, they tend to show up in this fixture. We are expecting a very entertaining match here but feel that the hosts may just outscore The Eagles in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
