Chaves will be looking to end their eight-game winless run on Sunday when they welcome Maritimo to the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in round 19 of the Primeira Liga.
Having suffered a 2-1 defeat in August's reverse fixture, O Maior das Ilhas will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and move out of the automatic relegation places.
We say: Chaves 1-1 Maritimo
Chaves and Maritimo have struggled for form in recent weeks and will head into Sunday in search of a morale-boosting result. However, we predict that they will both take a cautious approach to the game and settle for a share of the spoils.

With the disappointment from the midweek humiliation against Sporting Lisbon still in the air, Braga play host to Famalicao at the Estadio Braga Municipal on Sunday.
Having secured a comfortable 3-0 victory when the sides met in August's reverse fixture, Os Arcebispos will head into the weekend looking to complete a first league double over the visitors.
We say: Braga 2-1 Famalicao
Off the back of a humbling loss to Sporting Lisbon, Braga will head into the weekend looking to make an immediate positive reaction. Famalicao have proven tough to crack in recent weeks and we expect them to put up a fight. Nonetheless, Braga boasts the firepower needed to get the job done and we anticipate that they will come away with a narrow victory.

Porto will be looking to close the gap on first-placed Benfica when they take on Vizela at the Estadio do Dragao in round 19 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.
Having lost each of the five meetings between the sides since December 2021, the Vizelenses will head into the weekend desperate to get one over the home side.
We say: Porto 2-0 Vizela
While Vizela have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a Porto side who are currently firing on all cylinders. Conceicao's side have been imperious in the history of this fixture and we are backing them to come away with another victory on Saturday.

Gil Vicente welcome European qualification candidates Arouca to the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Sunday evening.
Daniel Sousa's side are currently sitting only four points above the relegation playoff position, while the Arouquenses are the same number of points behind Casa Pia, who occupy the final UEFA Europa Conference League qualification position.
We say: Gil Vicente 1-2 Arouca
With Gil Vicente in danger of plying their trade in Liga Portugal 2 for the first time since 2018, we predict that Arouca will implement further relegation turbulence into the hosts' dressing room when referee Artur Soares Dias brings the curtain down on Sunday evening's contest.
