Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Sporting Lisbon vs. Arouca

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


Boavista vs. Braga (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Fresh off the back of ending their nine-game winless run, Boavista play host to Braga at the Estadio do Bessa in round 25 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The visitors will be desperate to get one over Os Axadrezados after failing to win either of the previous two meetings between the sides this season, including a 5-1 defeat in the Taca da Liga back in December.

We say: Boavista 1-2 Braga


Despite failing to come away with all three points last time out, Braga head into Saturday's game as the more in-form side, claiming three wins and one draw from their last four games. While Boavista will be looking to build on their win over Estoril Praia, we see the visitors grinding out a narrow win in this one and strengthening their position in the upper echelons of the table.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Portimonense vs. Benfica (Saturday, 6.00pm)

The Portuguese Primeira Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Benfica and Portimonense go head to head at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Saturday.

The visitors will head into the game seeking to get one over the Alvinegros after falling to a slender 1-0 defeat back in October's reverse fixture.

We say: Portimonense 1-2 Benfica


Portimonense have struggled to get going since the turn of the year, picking up five points from their last 27 available. Next up is an opposing side who appear to have hit their stride once again, claiming three wins and two draws from their last five games. Benfica boast a superior and more experienced crop of players and we predict they will make use of this advantage and come away with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Arouca (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Fresh off the back of a Taca de Liga defeat against Porto, Sporting Lisbon return to the Primeira Liga where they play host to Arouca at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Saturday.

The visitors will head into the game desperate to get one over Ruben Amorim's side having lost each of the last 11 meetings between the sides since 2013.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Arouca


Sporting Lisbon will be looking to restore some pride after their cup defeat against rivals Porto last time out. They will fancy their chances against an inconsistent Arouca side who they have gotten the better of in each of their last 11 encounters since 2013. Looking at the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we are tipping Sporting Lisbon to come away with all three points unscathed.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
