Nacional host Famalicao in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday afternoon as both teams aim to move away from the relegation places.
The hosts put in one of their best performances of the season last time out, picking up a point away from home against Benfica, while Joao Pedro Sousa's men were defeated 1-0 by Vitoria de Guimaraes.
We say: Nacional 1-1 Famalicao
We expect it to be a tight, low-scoring affair between two evenly matched teams desperate not to let the other gain an advantage. They are both involved in a relegation scrap at the moment, and every point is precious, meaning they could be happy to settle for a draw.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Tondela vs. Farense (Saturday, 6.00pm)
Tondela host SC Farense on Saturday evening in a hugely important game at the bottom of the Primeira Liga table, with the away side currently sitting in the relegation zone.
Despite their league position, Farense remain just three points behind 10th-placed Rio Ave, showing how open and competitive this half of the table is as we approach the second half of the season.
We say: Tondela 2-1 SC Farense
We believe this will be a closely fought game between two sides in the fight at the bottom end of the table.
With both sides coming into this game with a level of optimism and confidence, we can see the hosts coming out of this encounter with a narrow 2-1 victory to continue their good run of form.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Basement side Boavista travel to Portimonense on Saturday as they look to put an end to a nine-match winless run in the league and lift themselves off the foot of the Primeira Liga table.
Although Portimonense sit five league places above their visitors, just four points separate the sides in an extremely competitive bottom half of the table, where one result could vastly change the landscape.
We say: Portimonense 2-1 Boavista
While Boavista could see this as one of their best opportunities to pick up a much-needed win, we believe the good form of Portimonense will allow them to take advantage of a weak side who are low on confidence. We see the home side coming out with a narrow win in this game.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
