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

Vizela vs. Casa Pia (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Vizela will be looking to secure successive league wins for the first time since October when they play host to Casa Pia at the Estadio do FC Vizela in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Filipe Martins's men, meanwhile, will be looking to pick up their first away win since the turn of the year and move into the Europa Conference League qualification places.

We say: Vizela 1-1 Casa Pia

Vizela and Casa Pia head into the weekend in similar form and we anticipate a thrilling contest between the two evenly-matched sides. Os Gansos have struggled for results on the road but we predict that they will hold the Vizelenses to a share of the spoils and leave the Estadio do FC Vizela with a point.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Guimaraes vs. Pacos de Ferreira (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Pacos de Ferreira will look to continue their surge from the Primeira Liga relegation zone as they take on Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques on Saturday.

The Pacenses will head into the weekend in search of a second consecutive league double over the hosts, having won each of their last three meetings since December 2021.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-1 Pacos de Ferreira

With nine games to go before the end of the 2022-23 Primeira Liga campaign, Pacos de Ferreira have little time to salvage their season. While Vitoria de Guimaraes have run out of steam in recent weeks, they have been solid on home turf, where they have won three of their last four matches. With that said, we anticipate a close contest at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques, with the hosts claiming a slender victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Santa Clara (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Sporting Lisbon are back in action in the Primeira Liga when they go head to head with rock-bottom Santa Clara at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Saturday.

Ruben Amorim's side edged out Arsenal to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League last time out and will be looking to pick up where they dropped off before the international break.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Santa Clara

Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, Sporting Lisbon will fancy their chances against bottom-dwellers Santa Clara. Buoyed by their impressive result over Arsenal in Europe, we predict that Amorim's men will continue where they dropped off last time out and claim a comfortable home victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
