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

Pacos de Ferreira vs. Casa Pia (Sunday, 3.30pm)

Unbeaten in each of their last three games, Casa Pia visit the Estadio Capital do Movel to square off against Pacos de Ferreira in round six of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

The hosts, who are one of just two sides yet to pick up any points after the first five rounds of matches, will be desperate to end this dry spell and get their campaign up and running.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-1 Casa Pia

Casa Pia have been solid at the defensive end of the pitch this season and will fancy their chances against a Pacos de Ferreira side who have scored just twice this season. However, we predict the Pacenses will do just enough to leave with a share of the spoils and end their losing streak.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Maritimo vs. Gil Vicente (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Seeking to snap their run of five consecutive defeats and get their Primeira Liga campaign up and running, Maritimo go head to head with Gil Vicente on Sunday.

The Gilistas, who are also winless in each of their last six games across all competitions, head to the Estadio do Maritimo looking to return to winning ways and get their season back on track.

We say: Maritimo 1-1 Gil Vicente

While Maritimo and Gil Vicente have both stumbled into the new season, the Gilistas head into the weeks as the more in-form side and slight favourites to come away with all three points. However, we predict a cagey contest with the spoils being shared between the two evenly-matched sides.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Arouca vs. Boavista (Sunday, 6.00pm)

Arouca will be looking to snap their two-game winning streak when they go head to head with Boavista at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca on Sunday.

Os Axadrezados head into the weekend fresh off the back of ending a run of two consecutive defeats and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Arouca 2-2 Boavista

Boavista head into the weekend fresh off the back of a hard-earned victory over Pacos de Ferreira and will look to keep the ball rolling. However, they face an Arouca side who have been solid on their home turf in recent weeks. We predict the Arouquenses will frustrate the efforts of the visitors and hold out for a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Rio Ave vs. Braga (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Fresh off the back of an Europa League opening-day victory over Malmo, Braga take a trip to the Estadio dos Arcos to face Rio Ave in round six of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.

The newly-promoted side, who head into the weekend unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 home games against Os Arcebispos, will set out to extend this fine record and move into the top half of the table.

We say: Rio Ave 0-2 Braga

While Rio Ave will set out to pick up back-to-back home wins, they face a Braga side who are currently firing on all cylinders. Jorge's side head into the weekend on a run of five consecutive wins in all competitions and we are backing them to come away with all three points once again.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
