Arouca and Rio Ave go head to head at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca as round 13 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga gets underway on Saturday.
The Arouquenses head into the weekend fresh off the back of booking their place in the round of 16 of the Taca de Portugal and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
We say: Arouca 2-1 Rio Ave
Arouca head into the weekend on a fine run of form, claiming five wins and three draws in their last eight matches across all competitions. Rio Ave have endured a poor run away from home this season and we are backing the Arouquenses to come away with a fourth consecutive victory.

Fresh off the back of reaching the round of 16 of the Taca de Portugal, Porto take a trip to the Estadio do Bessa to square off against Boavista in round 13 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
The home side, meanwhile, head into the weekend on a run of six consecutive games without victory across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
We say: Boavista 0-3 Porto
Porto have put together a fine run of results in recent weeks and head into the weekend with four wins and one draw in their last five matches. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides and their contrasting form, we are backing Conceicao's men to come away with a comfortable victory.
