Saturday's Primeira Liga action kicks off at Estadio de Sao Luis, where a stuttering SC Farense will play host to this season's surprise package Moreirense.
These two sides are well acquainted, having battled out the Segunda Liga title last season, which the visitors won, and they will resume their rivalry this week with an important three points on the line in a compact top-flight mid-table.
We say: SC Farense 1-1 Moreirense
While there is a nine-point gap between these sides in the league standings, they are very evenly matched on paper, and both will be looking to bounce back from defeats last week. We are expecting a close encounter here and feel that there will be nothing to split these two at the final whistle.

The action continues in round 23 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga as relegation-threatened Estrela Amadora and Chaves go head-to-head at the Estadio Jose Gomes on Saturday.
With their survival hopes potentially hinging on this result, we anticipate a thrilling contest between the sides who are currently separated by just four points in the danger zone.
We say: Estrela Amadora 2-1 Chaves
Given the stakes of this game, we anticipate an end-to-end affair at the Estadio Jose Gomes with both sides going all out in search of the win. Estrela's home advantage gives them a slight edge here, and we fancy them to come away with a narrow victory.

Fresh off the back of ending their five-game winless run, Casa Pia journey to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques to take on Vitoria de Guimaraes in round 23 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
Os Vimaranenses head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last four matches across all competitions and will be looking to move into the Conference League qualification spot.
We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 2-0 Casa Pia
Buoyed by their victory over Arouca, Casa Pia will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to pull clear of the danger zone. However, they take on a well-drilled Vitoria de Guimaraes side who must avoid any more slip-ups in their quest for European football. Casa Pia have struggled to impose themselves on the road, and we are tipping Guimaraes to return to winning ways in front of their home supporters.
