Gil Vicente will be looking to pick up consecutive wins for the first time since February when they play host to Rio Ave at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Saturday.
The newly-promoted side, on the other hand, head into the weekend without a win in their three away games this season and will be looking to end this dry spell.
We say: Gil Vicente 2-1 Rio Ave
Fresh off the back of ending their winless run, Gil Vicente will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to move into the top half of the table. The Gilistas have enjoyed the better of this fixture in recent years and we are backing them to come away with all three points once again.

On a dire run of six consecutive defeats in their opening six games of the 2022-23 Primeira Liga campaign, Pacos de Ferreira visit the Estadio de Sao Miguel to face Santa Clara on Saturday.
The home side, on the other hand, head into the weekend seeking to make it two wins from two successive home games in the league for the first time since January.
We say: Santa Clara 2-1 Pacos de Ferreira
While Pacos de Ferreira will be looking to end their dire run and get their campaign up and running, they take a trip to the bogey Estadio de Sao Miguel, where they have lost their last three visits. We are backing Santa Clara to continue their fine home run and claim all three points, heaping more misery on the struggling visitors.

Fresh off the back of a disappointing Champions League defeat against Club Brugge, Porto take a trip to the Antonio Coimbra da Mota to take on Estoril Praia on Saturday.
The Canarinhos will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the visiting side, having lost each of the last nine meetings between the teams since November 2014.
We say: Estoril Praia 0-3 Porto
While Estoril Praia will be looking to make it two wins from two in the league for the first time since September 2021, they have struggled to grind results against Porto, who are unbeaten in their last 10 encounters. We predict the league champions will extend their dominance over the hosts by claiming a resounding victory.

Seeking to pick up a third win on the bounce in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Boavista play host to Sporting Lisbon at the Estadio do Bessa on Saturday.
The visiting side maintained their perfect record in the Champions League in midweek and set out to pick up a fifth consecutive victory across all competitions.
We say: Boavista 0-2 Sporting Lisbon
Boavista have enjoyed a solid start to the season and will be looking to strengthen their position in the top half of the table. However, they go up against a spirited Sporting Lisbon side who will head into the game full of confidence following their Champions League win over Tottenham. We predict the Leoes will come away with a comfortable victory and leave the hosts red-faced once again.
