Belenenses take to the pitch for the first time in two weeks this weekend when they play hosts Estoril Praia at the Estadio Nacional do Jamor on Saturday.
The hosts, who suffered a COVID-19 outbreak two weeks back, took on Benfica with just nine outfielded players last time out, while the visitors head into the game fresh off the back of a defeat away to Sporting Braga.
We say: Belenenses 1-1 Estoril Praia
Estoril Praia will be seeking to arrest their slump in form and continue their fine start to the season when they face a struggling Belenenses side. The hosts head into the game with in decent form, claiming two wins from their last four games, and we predict they will take a cautious approach to the game and force a share of the spoils.

Seeking to move out of the relegation zone, Moreirense play host to Portimonense at the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Sunday.
The visitors will head into the game aiming to quickly return to winning ways and move into the Conference League qualification places in the Primeira Liga standings.
We say: Moreirense 0-2 Portimonense
Portimonense have enjoyed a decent season so far, and despite their defeat against a significantly stronger Porto side, they head into the game as the more in-form side. We predict they will return to winning ways as they face a floundering Moreirense side, who are yet to hit their stride so far.

Fresh off the back of sealing their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Benfica take a trip to the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao Stadium to square off against Famalicao.
The hosts, on the other hand, head into the game on a run of two consecutive Primeira Liga defeats and will be seeking to end this dry spell.
We say: Famalicao 0-3 Benfica
Both sides have enjoyed contrasting starts to the season, with Famalicao currently languishing just outside the relegation zone. Looking at the gulf in class and quality in the two sides, and their respective forms heading into the game, we are tipping Benfica to claim all three points.
