A key battle at the bottom end of the Primeira Liga table will take place at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Sunday, as Estoril Praia entertain Santa Clara.
With six league games to go, the visitors find themselves at the foot of Portugal's top flight, six points behind Maritimo in the relegation playoff place, while their hosts sit just one place and three points above that playoff spot following three straight defeats.
We say: Estoril Praia 2-0 Santa Clara
With two sides who are totally devoid of confidence squaring off, something is bound to give, and we see the hosts having too much for the Primeira Liga's struggling basement side on Sunday and scoring a victory to take a major step towards confirming their safety.

Porto will continue their bid to retain the Portuguese Primeira Liga trophy when they go head to head with Boavista at the Estadio do Dragao on Sunday.
Having clinched their 30th league title last season, Porto currently find themselves four points behind first-placed Benfica in the league table with just five league matches left to play.
We say: Porto 3-1 Boavista
Boavista have put together a fine run of form and will be looking to end their poor winless run away from home, but Conceicao's men boast the firepower needed to get the job done and we are backing them to keep their title race alive by picking up another victory.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Famalicao (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Looking to bounce back from their midweek Taca de Portugal defeat, Famalicao take a trip to the Estadio Jose Alvalade to face Sporting Lisbon on Sunday.
The Vila Nova have racked up three wins in their last three Primeira Liga outings and currently sit six points off the Conference League qualifying places with five games to go.
We say: Sporting Lisbon 2-0 Famalicao
While Famalicao's cup dreams suffered a huge blow, they have picked up a late-season form in the league as they make a late push for European football. However, given the gulf in quality and experience between the sides, we fancy Sporting Lisbon coming away with all three points.
