Pacos de Ferreira vs. Guimaraes (Sunday, 3.00pm)
An intriguing game takes place between sides in the top half of the Primeira Liga table on Sunday, as fifth-placed Pacos de Ferreira host sixth-placed Vitoria de Guimaraes.
While the two sides have enjoyed good seasons so far, both will be looking to return to winning ways, with the hosts being winless in two league games, while Vitoria are without a victory in four matches in the top flight.
We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes
We see this being a very tight game between two sides in fairly similar circumstances, and we expect the teams to share the points at the Mata Real Stadium, in a hotly contested 1-1 draw.

Rio Ave vs. Famalicao (Sunday, 3.00pm)
Famalicao will be looking to drag themselves off the foot of the Primeira Liga table on Sunday when they travel to the Estadio dos Arcos to take on Rio Ave.
The hosts will be in search of a third consecutive league win here, while Famalicao drew last time out, ending a four-match losing run in league action.
We say: Rio Ave 1-0 Famalicao
With both sides struggling for goals this campaign, we see this being a game of few goals, with the hosts possibly gaining the edge thanks to their improved recent form, combined with the weak defence of Famalicao.
While the basement side will be boosted in confidence after they kept a clean sheet and earned a point last time out, we see them falling just short in this game.

Braga vs. Tondela (Sunday, 6.00pm)
Braga welcome Tondela to the Braga Municipal Stadium on Sunday, in an important game at both ends of the Primeira Liga table.
Despite a 2-0 loss to Roma in the Europa League last time out, Braga will be looking to continue a good run of league form, having won four of their last five, while the visitors will be on the hunt for another win which would see them move further away from the relegation zone.
We say: Braga 2-1 Tondela
Despite Tondela looking slightly rejuvenated recently, we expect Carvalhal's side to extend their good run of league form with a narrow win in this game.
We see this being a fairly open match, with both sides possessing plenty of attacking quality, and expect Braga to edge it by a single goal.

Farense vs. Benfica (Sunday, 8.15pm)
Benfica will be looking to put an end to a run of inconsistency which has seen them drop to fourth in the Primeira Liga table when they travel to SC Farense on Sunday.
As Aguias have won just one of their last six league matches, while the hosts come into this game with some renewed confidence, having dragged themselves off the foot of the table with four points from their last two games.
We say: SC Farense 1-2 Benfica
With As Aguias struggling to find consistency in the league, as well as an upturn in form for the hosts, we see this being a very close game, but expect Benfica to just edge it thanks to their superior attacking talent.
The combination of Nunez and Seferovic, possibly supported by the returning Waldschmidt, could cause Farense major issues, and we expect the 39-time champions to pick up all three points at the Estadio de Sao Luis.
