Maritimo will be looking to move out of the automatic relegation places when they visit the Estadio do FC Vizela to square off against Vizela on Saturday.
The Vizelenses, on the other hand, will set out to finally get one over the visiting side, having failed to win any of the previous three meetings between the teams since July 2021.
We say: Vizela 1-2 Maritimo
Not many sides can boast of having gotten the better of Sporting Lisbon this season and after Sunday's victory over Amorim's side, Maritimo will head into this weekend with sky-high confidence. The visitors take on a Vizela side who have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and we predict they will come away with another close victory.

Seeking to pick up a fifth home win on the bounce in all competitions, Braga play host to Boavista at the Estadio Braga Municipal in round 16 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
The visitors head into the weekend fresh off the back of ending a run of six consecutive league matches without a win and will be looking to build on that result.
We say: Braga 3-1 Boavista
Boavista are in for a tough 90 minutes at the Estadio Braga Municipal, where Braga are currently on a run of five consecutive victories in all competitions. Jorge's side are currently in solid form and we are backing them to see off a Boavista side who have lost each of their last three away games in the league.
