Seeking to snap their three-game losing streak, Chaves play host to Portimonense at the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in round 24 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
The Alvinegros, on the other hand, head into the weekend on a run of six consecutive away defeats across all competitions and will be looking to pick up their first away win since the turn of the year.
We say: Chaves 2-1 Portimonense
Chaves and Portimonense head into the weekend level on points in the league table and we expect a cagey affair in this one. The Alvinegros have struggled for results away from home this season and we are tipping Campelos's side to claim a slender victory in front of their home fans.

Round 24 of the Primeira Liga entertains us with an exciting bottom-of-the-table dogfight on Saturday as 18th-placed Pacos de Ferreira play host to 17th-placed Santa Clara.
With both sides currently separated by three places in the automatic relegation zone, this weekend's clash could be pivotal in their respective races to beat the drop.
We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-1 Santa Clara
With just three points separating Pacos de Ferreira and Santa Clara at the bottom of the table, we anticipate a thrilling contest with both sides taking the game to each other in search of a crucial victory. However, we predict that they will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

Vitoria de Guimaraes and Arouca are separated by two places in the Primeira Liga table preceding Saturday's meeting at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques.
Vitoria continued their positive run with a 3-1 success at Santa Clara on Sunday, but this weekend's visitors were held to a goalless game at Santa Clara in the same gameweek.
We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-1 Arouca
Vitoria have won five in six, which is expected to become six in seven, with their impressive sequence of wins facing an Arouca side that struggles on their travels, claiming just two wins on the road all season.
Without a triumph on their travels since November 5, their five-game away run without a win should extend to six.

Seeking to pick up consecutive wins for the first time in 2023, Vizela take on Braga at the Estadio do FC Vizela in round 24 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.
Os Arcebispos, on the other hand, head into the weekend looking to pick up a third consecutive victory over the home side and move into second place in the league standings.
We say: Vizela 1-3 Braga
Buoyed by last week's victory over Estoril Praia, Vizela will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence and will be looking to build on that result. However, they take on a Braga side who have enjoyed a solid campaign and are pushing for a return to the Champions League. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we are backing Braga to come away with all three points in this one.
