Two teams with contrasting fortunes in recent weeks face off on Saturday as Nacional welcome Famalicao for round 24 of the Primeira Liga.
The hosts will be eager to halt a two-match winless run, while the in-form visitors seek to stretch their unbeaten streak to five matches and secure a third consecutive victory.
We say: Nacional 1-1 Famalicao
While Famalicao have been the more in-form side, their struggles at Nacional's ground suggest a tight contest, and with the hosts also faltering in their last two home games, failing to claim victory, a balanced outcome seems the most likely scenario.

In a battle between two sides with a similar outcome in their most recent outings, Arouca play host to Porto this weekend for matchweek 24 of the Primeira Liga.
Both teams arrive at this clash following stalemates in their respective round 23 encounters, a result they have encountered most frequently in recent weeks.
We say: Arouca 1-2 Porto
Porto may have found victories hard to come by in recent outings, but with the risk of losing further ground on the top two, they appear the more determined side heading into this clash.
Arouca have proven a tough nut to crack of late, yet the visitors are expected to dig deep and secure a vital win, drawing confidence from their strong record at the Municipal.

Vitoria de Guimaraes will look to return to winning ways when they host Casa Pia for round 24 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
The Conquerors have now gone three matches without a victory, sitting eighth in the standings with 31 points, four behind the visitors, who sit two places above after grinding out a hard-fought win in their last outing.
We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 1-1 Casa Pia
Although Casa Pia have enjoyed success on their visits to Vitoria, extending that flawless record could prove challenging this weekend, given the hosts' resilience in recent outings.
However, the home side's difficulty in turning draws into victories may persist, with their improved defence and struggles in the final third pointing towards a low-scoring stalemate.
