Sunday's Primeira Liga predictions including Benfica vs. Braga

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


Tondela vs. Maritimo (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Seeking to end their run of nine games without a win and move out of the relegation places, Maritimo take a trip to the Estadio Joao Cardoso to square off against Tondela on Sunday.

The hosts, on the other hand, head into the game on a two-game losing streak and will be looking to arrest this slump in form and rise into the top half of the Primeira Liga table.

We say: Tondela 2-1 Maritimo


Maritimo have endured a horror start to the season and this has been owing to their woeful performances on home turf. While Tondela have suffered a slump in form, they head into the game as the more in-form side and we are tipping them to claim all three points, albeit by a narrow margin.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Santa Clara vs. Porto (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Looking to extend their lead at the summit of the Primeira Liga standings, Porto take a trip to the Estadio de Sao Miguel Stadium to take on Santa Clara on Sunday.

The hosts head into the game without a win in any of their most recent six league outings and will be looking to end this dry spell and move out of the relegation places.

We say: Santa Clara 0-3 Porto


Porto, who head into the game on a blistering run of results, surged to the top of the table last time out following their win over Boavista in their last outing. They are unbeaten in each of their 10 games so far and we predict they will ease to all three points this weekend as they take on an out-of-sorts Santa Clara side who are rooted to the bottom of the table.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Pacos de Ferreira vs. Sporting Lisbon (Sunday, 7.00pm)

Fresh off the back of an emphatic 4-0 victory over Besiktas in the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon travel to the Estadio Capital do Movel to face Pacos de Ferreira on Sunday.

The hosts are presently on a run of six league games without a win and will be looking to put an end to this dry spell this weekend and move into the top half of the Primeira Liga standings.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 0-2 Sporting Lisbon


Pacos de Ferreira head into this game on an 11-game losing streak against the visitors and will have to be at their absolute best to avoid another defeat. However, looking at the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, and considering Sporting Lisbon's current blistering run of results, we are tipping them to extend their dominance in this fixture and claim all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Benfica vs. Braga (Sunday, 9.15pm)

Benfica and Braga draw the curtain on round 11 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they square off at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Sunday.

The hosts head into the game off the back of a humbling 5-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich, while the visitors claimed a 4-2 win over Ludogorets Razgrad in the Europa League.

We say: Benfica 1-2 Braga


It is safe to say that Braga have found their rhythm this season as they head into the game on a blistering 10-game unbeaten run, claiming seven wins in that time. In contrast, Benfica appear to have run out of steam in recent weeks, claiming one win from their last five games across all competitions. Looking at past meetings between the sides, we anticipate an action-packed contest in this one with Braga stealing a narrow win and heaping more misery on the hosts .

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
