Winless Arouca and Nacional face off in Sunday’s Primeira Liga match at Estadio Municipal de Arouca, both eager to record their first victory of the new season at the third time of asking.
The hosts have lost consecutive games to start 2024-25, while their newly promoted opponents were blown away by defending champions Sporting last weekend, failing to build on their league-opening draw.
We say: Arouca 1-1 Nacional
Nacional’s recent return to the Primeira Liga after a three-year hiatus and Arouca’s ongoing losses make it difficult to predict the outcome of Sunday’s game. Thus, we will err on the side of caution and opt for a stalemate in the gameweek three meeting.

Winless Estoril Praia return to Primeira Liga action on Sunday, keen to record their first success of the 2024-25 season against Gil Vicente at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota.
The home side hope to be third-time lucky against their visitors, who got the better of newly promoted AVS in gameweek two.
We say: Estoril Praia 1-2 Gil Vicente
While they made hard work of last week’s win over the league’s new boys, Gil Vicente’s seeming superior match-winning quality and slightly better form to their hosts mean we are backing Pinheiro to secure a win over his old side Estoril this weekend.

Seeking to pick up their first win of the new Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign, AVS play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio do Desportivo das Aves on Sunday.
Os Vimaranenses head into the weekend fresh off the back of an emphatic victory in the Conference League playoffs and will be looking to make it six wins from six to start the season.
We say: AVS 1-3 Vitoria de Guimaraes
Vitoria de Guimaraes have flown out of the blocks this season and will be backing themselves against an inexperienced AVS side. While we expect the hosts to put up a fight, we predict Os Vimaranenses will pick up where they left off in midweek and secure a comfortable victory at the Estadio do Desportivo das Aves.

Two undefeated sides after two games in Braga and Moreirense battle in Sunday’s Primeira Liga gameweek three match at Estadio Municipal de Braga.
Despite last season’s double over their opponents, the away side enter Sunday’s match with renewed confidence, aiming to break a five-year drought of competitive victories against Os Arcebispos.
We say: Braga 2-2 Moreirense
Every Braga win under Carvalhal has been by a one-goal margin, but they could come unstuck against in-form Moreirense in the Minho derby. Despite the previous nine competitive matches going Braga’s way, the away side’s ongoing form should see them end that run this weekend.
