Famalicao will be seeking to continue their surge to the top half of the Primeira Liga standings when they welcome Santa Clara to the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Saturday.
The hosts could also complete an impressive league double over Os Acoreanos after claiming a 2-0 victory when the sides squared off back in October's reverse fixture.
We say: Famalicao 2-2 Santa Clara
Despite the defeat against Vitoria de Guimaraes, Famalicao have enjoyed a fine run of games in recent weeks and will be delighted with their turnaround so far. Santa Clara have also shown strength since the turn of the year, losing just once in nine games. While Saturday's matchup promises to be an exciting one, we predict both sides will settle for a share of the spoils.

Two sides separated by just two points and one place in the Primeira Liga standings face off as Estoril Praia and Portimonense go head to head at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Saturday.
Unbeaten in each of the last five meetings between the sides since 2011, the hosts will head into the game seeking to extend their dominance in the history of this fixture and snap their three-game winless run.
We say: Estoril Praia 1-1 Portimonense
On an 11-match winless run, Portimonense will come into this one desperate for a much-needed victory as they look to get their season back on track. While previous results show Estoril Praia are favourites heading into the game, we predict the Canarinhos will hold out for a share of the spoils against an opposing side who have struggled for form in home turf this season.

The Portuguese Primeira Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Arouca and Pacos de Ferreira go head to head at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca on Saturday.
Having failed to win any of the last five meetings between the sides since 2016, the Arouquenses will head into the game desperate to get one over the visitors.
We say: Arouca 1-2 Pacos de Ferreira
Despite their defeat against Porto, Peixoto will be impressed with his side's resilient display against the league leaders and will charge them to take the positives from that performance. Arouca have managed just one draw from their last six home games and we predict the visitors will extend their dominance in the recent history of this fixture and come away with all three points.

Seeking to pick up their first consecutive wins away from home this season, Boavista take a trip to the Estadio Nacional do Jamor to face Belenenses on Saturday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season after the spoils were shared in an uneventful goalless draw when they locked horns in October's reverse fixture.
We say: Belenenses 1-2 Boavista
Belenenses have struggled to put together decent performances in the Primeira Liga this season and find themselves rooted to the bottom of the pile. While they will look to begin their charge from the drop zone, next up is an opposing side who are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions. While we expect Belenenses to put up a fight, we are backing the visitors to come away with all three points, albeit by a slender margin.
