Sporting Lisbon head into their contest with Nacional on Thursday evening looking to extend their lead at the top of the Primeira Liga standings to seven points.

Meanwhile, Nacional welcome the frontrunners to the Madeira Stadium sitting in ninth position after their recent win over Tondela.

We say: Nacional 0-2 Sporting Lisbon


On a high after their important success against Tondela, we expect a strong performance from Nacional on home territory. However, few teams are capable of stopping this Sporting team right now, and the visitors should outclass their hosts in the final third.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Braga head into Thursday's encounter with Maritimo looking to bounce back from their defeat to Primeira Liga leaders Sporting Lisbon at the weekend.

As for the visitors, a three-match unbeaten streak has moved them into seventh position, still 10 points adrift of their fourth-placed hosts.

We say: Braga 2-1 Maritimo


Given the contrasting trajectories of the two clubs, this could turn out to be an intriguing tussle. Nevertheless, Braga possess the greater quality in creative areas, and that could prove to be the difference during the final stages of the contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
