Hoping to start the New Year with a win and move away from relegation danger in the process, Tondela host Famalicao in their first outing of 2021.
On the other hand, Famalicao know that securing all three points would temporarily take them as high as seventh, so a victory is of the essence for both teams.
We say: Tondela 0-1 Famalicao
Both teams have struggled in front of goal lately but Famalicao have been more potent throughout the season so a narrow victory looks likely here.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Maritimo will be looking to get their fifth league win of the season under their belts when they entertain strugglers Boavista on Sunday.
Boavista, who have not won a game in the Primeira Liga since their shock victory against local rivals Benfica in early November, will be desperate to put their run of poor form behind them and haul themselves out of the relegation zone.
We say: Maritimo 2-1 Boavista
There is little doubt about it, Maritimo are the better outfit in this clash, and with Joel and Pinho both playing well, Vidigal's men definitely look capable of stealing all three points. Do not expect Boavista to go down quietly though.

Santa Clara will be eyeing a return to winning ways on Sunday when they welcome title contenders Benfica to Ponta Delgada.
However, with their opponents coming off the back of four consecutive league wins, the Azoreans will face an uphill struggle at the Estadio de Sao Miguel.
We say: Santa Clara 0-3 Benfica
With Thiago Santana no longer pulling the strings at Santa Clara, it is difficult to see how Ramos's men will prevent Benfica from picking up their fifth league win on the bounce, and we think the Eagles will do it in style.

Pacos de Ferreira host Rio Ave at the Estadio Capital do Movel on Sunday as Os Castores look to close the gap on those sitting in the European qualifying spots.
The hosts currently sit in sixth place in the table having drawn against Sporting Farense 1-1 in a fractious affair last time out, while the visitors are in 13th after their 1-3 loss against Maritimo.
We say: Pacos de Ferreira 2-1 Rio Ave
The league table suggests that this should be a fairly straightforward win for Pacos de Ferreira, but with both sides struggling for form, it could well be closer than many think. We expect Pacos de Ferreira to seal a narrow win, but not without a few scares along the way.

Porto welcome Moreirense to the Estadio do Dragao on Sunday as they go in pursuit of their seventh straight league win.
The Dragons were made to fight for their latest win, eventually coming through 3-2 against an in-form Vitoria Guimaraes.
Moreirense, on the other hand, secured a narrow win over Santa Clara after Yan Matheus Santos Souza bagged the winner late on in the second half.
We say: Porto 2-0 Moreirense
Porto have been untouchable at home of late, and despite the threat that Moreirense pose, we see this one ending in another routine win for the champions as their quest to defend their title picks up pace.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
