Chaves will be looking to pick up back-to-back home wins for the first time since May when they play host to Benfica in round 10 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.

As Aguias journey to the Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on a run of four consecutive away wins in the league and will look to move level with Sporting Lisbon at the top of the table.

We say: Chaves 0-2 Benfica

With their victory over Arouca, Benfica have now won six of their last seven away matches across all competitions and will be backing themselves against a Chaves side who have struggled for form this season. Schmidt's side have enjoyed the better of this fixture, and given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, we are backing them to come away with all three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

The action continues in round 10 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga when Famalicao and Gil Vicente go head-to-head at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Saturday.

The Gilistas are currently unbeaten in each of their last four games against Joao Pedro Sousa's men and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant run.

We say: Famalicao 1-1 Gil Vicente

After a solid start to the season, Famalicao appear to have run out of steam in recent weeks and will head into the weekend in search of a pick-me-up. However, we predict Gil Vicente will take the positives from their draw against Braga and end their losing streak away from home in the league.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Portimonense set out in search of a third straight win for the first time since September 2022 when they take on Braga at the Estadio Braga Municipal on Saturday.

Artur Jorge's side are currently unbeaten in each of their previous 18 games against the Alvinegros since August 2010 and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant run.

We say: Braga 2-1 Portimonense

Portimonense have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks but will have to show their mettle against a Braga side who are unbeaten in the previous 18 meetings between the sides. While Braga have suffered a drop-off in form of late, they boast the firepower needed to turn things around this weekend and we are backing them to return to winning ways.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
