Two sides separated by just two points and one place in the Primeira Liga table square off on Saturday as Tondela play host to Pacos de Ferreira at the Estadio Joao Cardoso.
The hosts will head into the game seeking to get one over the visitors having lost each of the most recent four meetings between the sides since 2019.
We say: Tondela 1-1 Pacos de Ferreira
With just two points between the sides on the log, we expect a cagey and fiercely-contested affair on Saturday. However, we predict the spoils will be shared as both sides are evenly matched on paper.

Portimonense will be aiming to move into the Conference League qualification spot when they play host to Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Saturday.

We say: Portimonense 2-1 Arouca
Portimonense head into the game in resurgent form, claiming four wins from their last five games in all competitions. Arouca, meanwhile, have struggled to get going away from home this season and we anticipate the Portimao-based outfit will make use of their home advantage and come away with all three points.
