Portimonense will look to break back into the top five of the Primeira Liga table on Saturday, when they travel to take on Famalicao.
The Algarve outfit maintained their position in sixth spot with a win over Belenenses in their last league outing, while the hosts have now won two of their last three games and head into Saturday in a three-game league unbeaten run.
We say: Famalicao 1-1 Portimonense
While Portimonense have enjoyed the far more consistently strong season, Famalicao come into Saturday with plenty of momentum, and we see them picking up a result.
While we back the sixth-placed side to avoid a defeat, they will be put under plenty of pressure by a resurgent Fama outfit and should be relatively pleased with a point.

Boavista will look to put an end to an eight-game league winless run on Saturday, when they take on newly-promoted Arouca in the Portuguese top flight.
A dip in form has seen the visitors drop to 10th spot in the Primeira Liga table, while their visitors sit just one point worse off in 12th place.
We say: Arouca 3-1 Boavista
Given the contrasting form of the two sides, and the major hits to Boavista's defence, we heavily fancy the newly-promoted side to do the business on Saturday.
As Panteras will struggle to field two genuine centre-backs, and, considering they have already struggled at the back in recent weeks, we do not back them to get a result away from home.

Benfica will look to climb to the summit of the Primeira Liga table on Saturday, when they travel to take on Belenenses.
As Aguias recently dropped from top spot in the Portuguese top flight, but they remain just one point off league leaders Porto in third place.
We say: Belenenses 0-2 Benfica
Belenenses may look slightly refreshed under new management, but we see them being comfortably beaten by Jesus's men on Saturday.
O Belem have struggled going forward while Benfica's collection of attacking stars is tough for any side to keep at bay, and we expect the gulf in class to be clear.
