Gil Vicente shall be hoping to strengthen their position in the top five of the Primeira Liga on Sunday when they welcome Santa Clara to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos.
The visitors are undefeated in their previous four matches in the league, and could climb as high as seventh place with a victory.
We say: Gil Vicente 3-1 Santa Clara
Santa Clara head into this match in good form, having not lost a league game yet in 2022, but Sunday could be the day that run ends, as the hosts have been emphatic recently.
The poor defensive ability of the visitors is something that could prove to be their undoing, allowing Gil Vicente the chance to exploit that and cause problems at the back.

Boavista will be hoping to climb away from danger in the Primeira Liga when they host newly-promoted Vizela in a big relegation battle at the Estadio do Bessa on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts remain the draw experts in Portugal but this has seen them slide towards the drop, whilst the visitors are enjoying a bright start to life in the top flight, but remain far from safety yet.
We say: Boavista 1-0 Vizela
Although the form book appears to be pointing towards the visitors picking up at least a point on Sunday, we are predicting a narrow win for the hosts.
Boavista's strong record at home cannot be ignored, so despite their stuttering form, it is difficult to see them losing this clash, and we believe they are capable of picking up a vital three points.

Seeking to make it 11 consecutive wins across all competitions, Porto square off against Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 21 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.
The Arouquenses, who have lost each of their most recent three home games, find themselves hovering just one point above the relegation zone and will be looking to end this dry spell.
We say: Arouca 0-3 Porto
While Arouca will be looking to immediately return to winning ways, they face the stern test of going up against a rampant Porto side who appear simply unbeatable at the moment. Looking at the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we anticipate Porto will come away with all three points unscathed.

Two sides in contrasting ends of the Portuguese Primeira Liga standings square off on Sunday when Sporting Lisbon play host to Famalicao at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
The hosts are currently second in the league table, six points off first-place Porto, while the visitors are currently in the relegation playoff spot after picking up 17 points from 20 games.
We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Famalicao
Famalicao have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, picking up just one win from their last 10 games in all competitions. Sporting Lisbon, meanwhile, will be looking to put together another fine run of form having recently clinched the Taca da Liga title. We are tipping the hosts to come away with all three points and leave the visitors languishing at the wrong end of the table.
