Saturday's Primeira Liga predictions including Boavista vs. Vitoria de Guimaraes

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Primeira Liga fixtures, including Boavista vs. Vitoria de Guimaraes.


Rio Ave vs. Vizela (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Saturday's action in the Primeira Liga will kick off with a crucial relegation battle as Rio Ave prepare to take on Vizela at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube in Vila do Conde.

The hosts head into this encounter in 15th place in the league standings with 11 points after 13 matches, while the visitors are at the bottom of the log and one point behind their opponents.

We say: Rio Ave 2-1 Vizela


Both these sides have seen slight improvement in the last month, and a win here will feel like six points gained and could cause a significant reshuffle at the foot of the table. The hosts have got themselves out of the drop zone with a few good performances ahead of this match, and we feel they will be able to put on another good showing in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Arouca vs. Gil Vicente (Saturday, 6.00pm)

The second match in the Primeira Liga on Saturday afternoon will be a lower-table battle, with Arouca facing off against Gil Vicente at Estadio Municipal de Arouca.

The hosts are currently second bottom in the league standings, with 10 points after the first 13 matches of the season, while the visitors are 14th and just two points above their opponents.

We say: Arouca 2-1 Gil Vicente


While both sides have been far from impressive this season, it is difficult to make much of a case for the visitors, who have not earned a single point on the road this season and have not won an away match since March. Arouca showed real fighting spirit to come back from two goals down against Rio Ave last week, and we feel they can follow that up with another positive result in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Boavista vs. Guimaraes (Saturday, 8.30pm)

The final match on Saturday in the Primeira Liga will see Vitoria de Guimaraes heading to Estadio do Bessa Scculo XXI to take on a stuttering Boavista.

The hosts have fallen to 10th place in the league standings with 15 points after the first 13 matches, while the visitors are up in fifth place and with 25 points to their name over the same period.

We say: Boavista 1-3 Vitoria de Guimaraes


Boavista are in all sorts of trouble at the moment, both on the pitch and behind the scenes, and a few more poor results could see them sucked into a relegation scrap before long. Vitoria, on the other hand, seem to have found a good patch of form and will be brimming with confidence after overcoming the league leaders last week. As a result, we feel the visitors will come away with the points in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
