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

Famalicao vs. Estrela Amadora (Saturday, 3.30pm)

Famalicao will be looking to end their run of three consecutive games without a win when they play host to Estrela Amadora at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Having secured a 1-0 victory in October's reverse fixture, the Tricolours will head into the weekend looking to do the double over the hosts and pick up their first win on the road since the third week of October.

We say: Famalicao 2-1 Estrela Amadora

Buoyed by their much-needed victory over Casa Pia, Estrela will head into the weekend with renewed belief as they look to steer clear of the danger zone. While Famalicao have suffered a drop-off in form, they boast the firepower needed to get the job done, and we see them coming away with a narrow victory.

Seeking to pick up a fourth Primeira Liga home game on the bounce, Braga play host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio Braga Municipal on Saturday.

Having failed to win each of the last three meetings between the sides, the Gilistas will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and end their run of three consecutive stalemates.

We say: Braga 2-0 Gil Vicente

October's reverse fixture ended in a pulsating 3-3 draw, and we anticipate another action-packed contest between Braga and Gil Vicente this weekend. The Gilistas have struggled to get going away from home, and we are backing Jorge's men to come away with all three points.

Two sides who could do well with a win go head-to-head on Saturday as SC Farense play host to Rio Ave at the Estadio de Sao Luis in round 26 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

While the hosts will be looking to end their run of four back-to-back defeats, the Vilacondenses head into the weekend in search of their first away win in the league this season.

We say: SC Farense 2-2 Rio Ave

The last four meetings between Farense and Rio Ave has produced a combined 15 goals, and we anticipate another end-to-end affair at the Estadio de Sao Luis this weekend. Both sides are evenly matched on paper, and we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts.

Porto vs. Vizela (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Still licking their wounds from their gut-wrenching Champions League exit, a disconsolate Porto play host to Vizela in round 26 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The visitors head into the weekend on a run of five consecutive defeats against the Dragoes since 2021 and will journey to the Estadio do Dragao to end this poor three-year spell.

We say: Porto 2-0 Vizela

Reeling from their midweek European disappointment, Porto will head into Saturday's game in search of a pick-me-up. Concicao's men have been imperious in this fixture, and given the gulf in quality and experience between the two teams, we are backing them to claim a comfortable victory.
