Rio Ave will be looking to snap their two-match winless run when they play host to Casa Pia at the Estadio dos Arcos in round 28 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Sunday.
Having picked up a 1-0 win in October's fixture, Os Gansos will set out to complete the double over the home side and secure their first away win since the turn of the year.
We say: Rio Ave 2-1 Casa Pia
While Casa Pia will be looking to find their feet, they have struggled for results on the road, where they are without a win in the league this year. Rio Ave have been impressive on home turf in recent weeks and we are backing them to return to winning ways in this one.

Fresh off the back of an emphatic Taca de Portugal victory over Nacional, Braga play host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio Braga Municipal on Sunday.

We say: Braga 2-0 Gil Vicente
While Gil Vicente have run out of steam in recent weeks, Braga are currently firing on all cylinders and will be looking to return to the automatic Champions League spot. Jorge's side are unbeaten at home post-World Cup and we are tipping them to claim a comfortable win on Sunday.

Sporting Lisbon will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Europa League defeat against Juventus when they welcome Arouca to the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Sunday.
The Arouquenses, meanwhile, head into the weekend seeking to pick up a third consecutive league win for the first time this season and strengthen their stake for a place in Europe.
We say: Sporting Lisbon 2-1 Arouca
Following Wednesday's narrow defeat, Sporting Lisbon will be looking to restore some pride and bounce back in time for the next week's return leg. Amorim's side have been near impenetrable at home in the league, and while we expect the visitors to put up a fight, we are backing them to come away with all three points.
