Two sides in need of a morale-boosting victory go toe to toe on Sunday as Maritimo welcome Pacos de Ferreira to the Estadio do Maritimo on Sunday.
The hosts will be desperate to pick up their first home victory of the season, while the visitors will be looking to bounce back from their cup exit last time out.
We say: Maritimo 1-1 Pacos de Ferreira
Maritimo have endured a horrid start to the season and will need to turn around their fortunes sooner rather than later to avoid dropping into the second tier. Pacos de Ferreira have also struggled to get going and head into this game in similar form. With that said, we anticipate both sides will take a cautious approach to the game and settle for a share of the spoils.

Fresh off the back of sealing their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League, high-flying Sporting Lisbon welcome Tondela to the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Sunday.
The visitors, on the other hand, secured their spot in the next round of the Taca de Portugal courtesy of a home win over Leixoes and will be seeking a third consecutive win in all competitions.
We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Tondela
Sporting Lisbon are currently on a roll and appear simply unstoppable at the moment given the way they have been playing in recent months. After picking up successive wins last time out, we expect Tondela to put up a fight in this one; however, we anticipate the hosts will extend their dominance in this fixture and claim their fourth straight win over the visitors.

Two sides looking to bounce back from their respective defeats last time out go head to head at the Estadio do Dragao as Porto play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes on Sunday.
The hosts head into the game fresh off the back of a Champions League defeat at the hands of Liverpool, while the visitors suffered a 3-2 cup defeat against Moreirense.
We say: Porto 3-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes
Porto will be looking to restore some pride after their Champions League defeat at the hands of Liverpool last time out. They have been solid at both ends of the pitch so far and we predict they will continue to edge out the visitors and come out on top once again.
