Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Sunday's Primeira Liga fixtures, including Maritimo vs. Vitoria de Guimaraes.

Famalicao vs. Nacional (Sunday, 3.00pm)

With just six points left to play for, Nacional travel to Famalicao on Sunday knowing that they need two victories to stand a chance of breaking out of the bottom two of the Primeira Liga table.

The visitors find themselves at the foot of the table with two games to go, sitting five points behind Boavista in the relegation playoff place and six points adrift of automatic safety.

We say: Famalicao 2-1 Nacional

Although Nacional come into this game needing a win, we see them falling short against a Famalicao side who have improved hugely under Ivo Vieira.

The hosts will be pushing for a top-half finish, and we expect them to get past the basement side who will definitely battle hard but could lack quality.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Belenenses and Santa Clara face off on Sunday, as they battle to secure a spot in the top six of the Primeira Liga table with two games left to play.

Currently, the eighth-placed hosts only sit below their opponents due to Santa Clara's 2-0 win over Belenenses earlier in the season, according to the Primeira Liga's priority on head-to-head results, while both sides sit just two points behind sixth-placed Vitoria de Guimaraes.

We say: Belenenses 2-1 Santa Clara

Belenenses come into this game with plenty of momentum having quickly raced up the table, and we see them pulling off another impressive victory on Sunday to see them move into the top seven.

While the visitors did make a crucial return to winning ways last time out, we see them falling short against a Belenenses side who have hit form at a great time, and will be full of confidence.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Vitoria de Guimaraes will look to cement their position in sixth spot in the Primeira Liga table on Sunday, when they travel to Madeira to take on Maritimo.

The hosts do not come into this game lacking motivation either, as they know that one win from their last two matches will see their survival confirmed.

We say: Maritimo 1-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes

As two sides in shaky runs of form go head-to-head, we do not see either team having the edge in this encounter, instead opting for a draw.

The hosts may have slightly taken their foot off the gas since they all but confirmed their survival, while Vitoria have struggled for consistency since January.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
