Seeking to pick up consecutive league victories, Arouca go head to head with Vizela at the Estadio do FC Vizela in round 12 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The Vizelenses, on the other hand, completed the league double over the visiting side last season and will head into the weekend looking to continue in the same vein.

We say: Vizela 2-1 Arouca

Arouca have put together a string of fine results in recent weeks and will fancy their chances of ending their winless run in this fixture. Vizela, meanwhile, have managed just one home win in eight matches since April and we are backing the Arouquenses to come away with a slender victory on Saturday.

Seeking to pick up their first Primeira Liga win of the season, Pacos de Ferreira take a trip to the Estadio do Dragao to lock horns with Porto on Saturday.

The home side, on the other hand, head into the weekend fresh off the back of clinching top spot in Group B of the Champions League and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Porto 3-0 Pacos de Ferreira

Porto will be licking their lips as they take on a floundering Pacos de Ferreira side who have endured a horrid start to the campaign. Looking at the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we are tipping the Dragoes to ease to a comfortable victory.

Fresh off the back of crashing out of the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon play host to Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in round 12 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Os Vimaranenses are one of the standout performers so far this season and will head into the weekend seeking to pick up a fifth victory on the bounce across all competitions.

We say: Sporting Lisbon 1-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes

While Sporting Lisbon will be looking to arrest their slump, they take on a spirited Vitoria de Guimaraes side who have proven to be a hard nut to crack this season. Teixeira's side have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks and we predict that they will do just enough to leave with a point.
