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

Rio Ave vs. Belenenses (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Belenenses will look to continue their steady climb up the Primeira Liga table on Sunday when they travel to the Estadio dos Arcos to take on 10th-placed Rio Ave.

The sides are now separated by just one point in the top flight, and both will be hoping to build on positive runs of league form with a result on Sunday.

We say: Rio Ave 1-0 Belenenses

In a game between the league's two weakest attacks, it can be expected that this will be a low-scoring affair.

As a result, we see the slightly superior quality of Rio Ave making the difference as they pick up a narrow win over their mid-table rivals.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Maritimo vs. Famalicao (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Maritimo host Famalicao on Sunday in an important game at the bottom of the Primeira Liga table.

The hosts will be looking to build on a win last time out which saw them move out of the relegation zone, while Famalicao now find themselves in the bottom two after three games without a victory.

We say: Maritimo 1-1 Famalicao

In what will be a tight encounter between two sides desperate for a victory to boost their survival bids, we see them sharing the points.

While Maritimo possess more of an attacking threat, Famalicao definitely looked rejuvenated under the new manager in the draw with Braga, and we expect that to continue here.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Boavista vs. Farense (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Boavista welcome SC Farense to the Estadio do Bessa on Sunday, in one of several crucial games at the bottom of the Primeira Liga table this weekend.

The hosts currently occupy the relegation playoff place, while Farense sit at the foot of the table following a five-game winless run.

We say: Boavista 2-1 SC Farense

We see the hosts picking up another crucial win on Sunday, as they take on a Farense side who look devoid of any real confidence at the moment.

Ferreira's side should have more than enough to break down the Farense defence, which should see them to a victory, provided they can deal with the threat of Gauld.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Braga vs. Benfica (Sunday, 8.00pm)

The highlight of the weekend's Primeira Liga action takes place on Sunday, as third-placed Braga play host to fourth-placed Benfica.

With just two points separating the sides in the Primeira Liga table, both will have their sights set on this game as a huge chance to boost their chances of European qualification for next season.

We say: Braga 0-2 Benfica

Despite Braga's impressive recent form, we see Benfica extending their resurgence with a statement victory on the road on Sunday.

As Aguias undoubtedly pose a major threat to any team in the league when they are firing as a unit, and they look to be hitting their stride once again, presenting a real threat to Braga.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.
