It is fourth against fifth at the Estadio Capital do Movel as Pacos de Ferreira and Braga square off in a highly anticipated clash on Saturday.

With the teams currently separated by five points in the Primeira Liga table, the importance of a victory for either side cannot be overstated.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-2 Braga

Both teams are in good form at the moment, but Braga edge their opponents in terms of overall quality, which should translate into a victory, albeit a narrow one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

SC Farense go in search of their first away win of the season when they travel to Vitoria de Guimaraes on Saturday.

Vitoria are winless in their last two league games, on the back of three consecutive wins prior to that.

We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 SC Farense

Vitoria may have struggled at home this season, but their visitors have fared even worse on the road, so a home win looks the more probable outcome.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

In a crucial game down at the bottom of the Primeira Liga table, Tondela await the visit of Boavista on Saturday as both teams look to scamper away from relegation danger.

Boavista are currently in the drop zone with only 11 points to their name, but their hosts are not far off ahead, as the teams are separated by one point.

We say: Tondela 2-1 Boavista

Boavista are really struggling at the moment and given Tondela's home form, you can expect the home side to come out victorious in this one, heaping further misery on their visitors.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
