Benfica take a trip to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos Stadium to take on Gil Vicente in round three of the Primeira Liga.

Both sides head into the game having picked up two wins from their opening two games and will aim to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Gil Vicente 1-3 Benfica

​Gil Vicente have enjoyed a fine start to the season, picking up two wins from their two opening games. While we expect them to put up a fight, we predict Benfica will come away with the win.

Jorge Jesus's side head into the game off the back of an impressive victory over PSV, and we anticipate they will build on that performance and claim all three points.

​Looking to maintain their 100% record in all competitions, Sporting Lisbon welcome Belenenses to the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Saturday.

​The visitors are on a run of seven straight losses dating back to a 2-0 defeat against Santa Clara back in May, and they will be aiming to end this poor run of results.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Belenenses

Sporting Lisbon have enjoyed a superb start to the season, picking up three wins from their three games in all competitions. In contrast, Belenenses have stumbled into the new campaign, losing each of their three games so far, including a 1-0 loss against second tier Mafra in the Taca da Liga. We are tipping Sporting Lisbon to continue their fine form and claim all three points on Saturday.
