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

Seeking to pick up a third win on the trot for the first time since January 2019, Moreirense take a trip to the Estadio Municipal de Portimao to face Portimonense on Saturday.

The hosts, on the other hand, head into the game fresh off the back of a 7-0 defeat at the hands of Porto and will look to quickly move on from that humiliating result.

We say: Portimonense 0-1 Moreirense

Moreirense have turned their fortunes around in recent weeks, claiming two wins from their last two outings. They are unbeaten in six of their last seven games against Portimonense and we predict they will maintain their new-found form and come away with all three points on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Looking to snap their six-game winless run, Famalicao square off with Benfica at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in round 31 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, head into the game fresh off the back of a dominant 2-0 victory over reigning champions Sporting Lisbon and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Benfica 2-0 Famalicao

Sunday's game sees two sides in contrasting form go head to head with Benfica being strong favourites to come out on top. Looking at the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we predict the hosts will cruise to a comfortable victory in front of their home fans.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Santa Clara vs. Maritimo (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Fresh off the back of ending a run of four games without victory, Maritimo travel to the Estadio de Sao Miguel to take on Santa Clara in round 31 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Os Acoreanos, on the other hand, will be seeking to get one over the visitors after suffering a 4-1 defeat when the sides squared off back in December's reverse fixture.

We say: Santa Clara 1-0 Maritimo

Buoyed by the victory over Boavista, Maritimo will head into the weekend with renewed belief as they look to leapfrog the hosts in the table. However, Santa Clara boasts one of the best home records this year and we predict they will keep this fine run going and come away with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Gil Vicente vs. Pacos de Ferreira (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Seeking to snap their four-game winless run, Gil Vicente lock horns with Portimonense at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in round 31 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Gilistas will also be eyeing a first league double over the visitors since 2014, having picked up a 1-0 victory when the sides squared off in December's reverse fixture.

We say: Gil Vicente 2-1 Pacos de Ferreira

Gil Vicente have fallen off a cliff at the tail end of the season as they now risk their place in the Conference League qualification spot after a series of underwhelming results. However, looking at their home record against the Pacenses, we are tipping them to find their feet and return to winning ways, albeit by the odd goal.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
