Two sides in need of a pick-me-up square off on Saturday when Estoril Praia and Moreirense square off at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in round 33 of the Primeira Liga.
While the hosts will head into the game looking to snap their six-game winless run, a victory for Os verdes e brancos could see them move out of the automatic relegation places.
We say: Estoril Praia 1-2 Moreirense
Moreirense have endured an underwhelming campaign so far and find themselves in the drop zone with two games left to play. However, they take on an out-of-sorts Estoril Praia side who are winless in six consecutive outings and we predict they will come away with all three points to keep their survival hopes alive.
Data Analysis
Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Estoril Praia win with a probability of 46.71%. A win for Moreirense has a probability of 26.93% and a draw has a probability of 26.4%.
The most likely scoreline is Estoril Praia 1-1 Moreirense with a probability of 12.49% and the second most likely scoreline is Estoril Praia 1-0 Moreirense with a probability of 12.07%.

League leaders Porto will be seeking to confirm their 30th Primeira Liga title when they lock horns with third-placed Benfica at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Saturday.
As Aguias, on the other hand, will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win any of the last eight meetings between the sides since 2019.
We say: Benfica 1-2 Porto
Saturday's game sees two of the Portuguese "Big Three" go head to head and this makes for a thrilling and exciting watch. Porto are unbeaten in each of their last eight games against the hosts and we predict they will keep this fine run going and come away with a slender victory.
Data Analysis
Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Porto win with a probability of 39.68%. A win for Benfica has a probability of 35.91% and a draw has a probability of 24.4%.
The most likely scoreline is Benfica 1-1 Porto with a probability of 11.3% and the second most likely scoreline is Benfica 1-2 Porto with a probability of 8.64%.
