Rio Ave vs. Estrela Amadora (Saturday, 3.30pm)
Rio Ave will be hoping to go three games unbeaten in the Primeira Liga when they take on Estrela Amadora at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts are currently in 16th place in the league standings with nine points after 11 games, while the visitors are 12th and two points ahead of their opponents.
We say: Rio Ave 1-1 Estrela Amadora
While the hosts had shown signs of life leading up to the international break, they have been away from competitive action for the best part of the last month. Still, they have fared well against this opponent in the past, and while Estrela did play in the cup last weekend, their performance was not convincing. We are expecting a tight contest and feel these sides will end level at the final whistle.

Farense vs. Guimaraes (Saturday, 3.30pm)
The Primeira Liga returns this weekend, and SC Farense will look to keep their positive run going when they face Vitoria de Guimaraes at Estadio de Sao Luis on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts have managed 15 points in their first 11 matches, leaving them in eighth place, while the visitors have recorded 19 points this term and are two spots above their opponents in the league standings.
We say: SC Farense 1-2 Vitoria de Guimaraes
Farense have been steadily improving this season and seem well on their way to re-establishing themselves as a top-flight contender. However, beating a side in the top six is never an easy task, especially after a three-week break. Vitoria got a full 90 minutes under their belts last week, which could be a big factor here, as they are likely to be a little more match-sharp than their opponents.

Famalicao vs. Porto (Saturday, 6.00pm)
Porto will be looking to keep the pressure on the Primeira Liga leaders when they head to Estadio Municipal 22 de Junho to face Famalicao on Saturday evening.
The hosts are currently in seventh place in the league standings after 11 matches, while the visitors are third and just three points behind the Lisbon-based clubs at the top.
We say: Famalicao 1-2 Porto
Porto have an excellent record against this opponent and also have the added incentive of moving into pole position in the league standings overnight if they can claim all three points in this one. The hosts will certainly not be a pushover, but we feel the Dragons will outscore them by the final whistle.

Casa Pia vs. Portimonense (Saturday, 8.30pm)
A freefalling Casa Pia will return to the Primeira Liga this weekend when they will take on Portimonense at Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior on Saturday evening.
The hosts have tumbled to 15th place in the league standings, with 10 points after 11 matches, while the visitors are in 10th place and four points ahead of their opponents.
We say: Casa Pia 0-1 Portimonense
Nothing seems to be clicking for Casa Pia at the moment, and their lack of goals this season does not bode well for their chances of avoiding the drop. Portimonense will be licking their lips at this one, knowing that their opponents are in a bad way. We are expecting a low-scoring affair here and feel as though the first goal could end up being the winner.
