Portimonense and Casa Pia are back in action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they go head to head at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Wednesday.
Still licking their wounds from their respective Taca da Liga exit, both sides will head into the midweek matchup in search of a morale-boosting result as they look to strengthen their position in the top half of the table.
We say: Portimonense 1-2 Casa Pia
Portimonense and Casa Pia will be looking to quickly bounce back from their respective cup disappointments and mark their return to the Primeira Liga on a high. However, Martin's side have found a way to grind out results away from home this season and we predict they will come away with a slender victory on Wednesday against an out-of-sorts Portimonense side.

Following a lengthy break for the first-ever winter World Cup, Porto and Arouca return to action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they square off at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday.
Both sides head into the midweek matchup fresh off the back of reaching the semi-finals of the Taca da Liga and will be looking to pick up right where they dropped off last time out.
We say: Porto 3-1 Arouca
Off the back of a fire cup run to the semi-finals, Porto and Arouca will head into Wednesday looking to keep the juggernaut rolling and the momentum high. While the visitors have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a significantly superior and more experienced Porto side. With that said, we are backing Conceicao's side to extend their dominance in this fixture by claiming another victory.
