Seeking to pick up their first set of consecutive home wins in the new Primeira Liga campaign, Famalicao welcome Benfica to the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Saturday.

Roger Schmidt's side, who claimed a comfortable win over Maccabi Haifa in their Champions League group-stage opener last time out, will be aiming to maintain their 100% domestic record.

We say: Famalicao 0-2 Benfica

Benfica have flown out of the blocks this season, winning each of their 10 games across all competitions this season. As Aguias are currently firing on all cylinders and we are backing them to comfortably see off a Famalicao side who have lost three of their five games this season.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Fresh off the back of a Champions League opening-day victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting Lisbon play host to Portimonense in round six of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The visitors, who are currently on a run of four consecutive victories, will head to the Estadio Jose Alvalade seeking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of the last nine meetings between the teams since October 2018.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 2-1 Portimonense

While Portimonense set out to pick up a fifth win on the bounce, standing in their way is a bogey Sporting Lisbon side who have won their last seven meetings in the league. While the hosts have struggled for results in the early stages of the season, we are backing them to carry on the momentum for the Champions League victory and come away with all three points on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Fresh off the back of a dramatic defeat against Atletico Madrid in their Champions League group opener, Porto play host to Chaves in round six of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The newly-promoted, who head to the Estadio do Dragao on a run of four consecutive games without defeat, will be looking to cause an upset and pick up a third consecutive league win away from home.

We say: Porto 3-0 Chaves

While Chaves will look to maintain their solid run of results, they take on a Porto side who will be looking to make an immediate positive response to their Champions League defeat. The Dragoes have turned their home ground into a fortress, winning each of their last 12 games in front of their fans, and we are backing them to continue in the same vein and extend their dominance over the visitors.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
