Pacos de Ferreira welcome Portimonense to the Estadio da Mata Real on Tuesday afternoon as the hosts look to extend their six-game winning run.

Paulo Sergio's men, on the other hand, will be hoping they can bounce back from a disappointing defeat last time out and stay above the relegation zone.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 3-1 Portimonense

Anything other than a home win is extremely unlikely in this one, given how the two teams have been playing in recent weeks. It should be a comfortable victory for Pacos de Ferreira as they continue their march up the table.

Rio Ave entertain Tondela in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Tuesday afternoon as both teams aim to put more distance between themselves and the bottom three.

The hosts drew 0-0 with Nacional last time out, while Pako Ayestaran's men were defeated 2-1 by Pacos Ferreira.

We say: Rio Ave 1-2 Tondela

We fancy this game to go true to form, meaning that Tondela will come away with a precious three points. The hosts have been struggling to score goals all season, and we think that could be their downfall once again on Tuesday.

Boavista vs. Nacional (Tuesday, 7.00pm)

Boavista will be looking to escape the Primeira Liga relegation zone on Tuesday night, when they welcome Nacional to the Estadio do Bessa.

The hosts recently lifted themselves off the foot of the table, and a second win in three matches could see them escape the bottom three, while Nacional will be hoping to increase the gap between themselves and the relegation scrap.

We say: Boavista 1-1 Nacional

Despite a loss last time out, Boavista will have some renewed confidence after they secured an important win recently. We can see them getting a result against Nacional, who have struggled for goals so far this campaign.

However, we do see Nacional extending their unbeaten run to four matches here, with the two sides splitting the points in a competitive encounter.

Gil Vicente vs. Sporting Lisbon (Tuesday, 9.00pm)

Sporting Lisbon travel to Gil Vicente on Tuesday evening, hoping to strengthen their position at the top of the Primeira Liga table.

They will be looking to record a fourth consecutive win in the league, while the hosts will have renewed confidence after winning last time out, a result which put an end to a run of four consecutive Primeira Liga losses.

We say: Gil Vicente 0-2 Sporting Lisbon

Despite the hosts hoping to turn a corner and save themselves from the drop, we can see them being outclassed in this encounter, by a Sporting side at the very top of their game.

The strong defensive unit of the league leaders should hold out against one of the league's weaker attacks, while the attacking threat posed by Amorim's men should be more than enough to secure another three points.
