We say: Portimonense 1-2 Pacos de Ferreira

Pacos de Ferreira appear to have hit their stride in recent weeks and look set to mount a late charge from the danger zone. The Pacenses head into Monday as the more in-form side and we are backing them to extend their recent dominance in this fixture.

While Rio Ave will be looking to find their feet, they go up against a spirited Sporting Lisbon side who head into Monday fresh off the back of steamrolling a solid Braga side. Amorim's side have enjoyed the better of this fixture and given the gulf in quality between the two sides, we are backing them to come away with a comfortable victory.
