Gil Vicente vs. Famalicao (Friday, 3.30pm)
Gil Vicente and Famalicao get round 27 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga underway when they go head to head at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Friday.
Having secured a 3-1 victory in November's reverse fixture, the Vila Nova will head into the weekend looking to do the double over the hosts for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign.
We say: Gil Vicente 1-1 Famalicao
Gil Vicente and Famalicao have struggled to get going of late and will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result. Both sides are evenly matched on paper and we predict they will cancel out each other's efforts at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos.

Benfica vs. Chaves (Friday, 6.00pm)
Benfica will be seeking to regain top spot in the Portuguese Primeira Liga standings when they go head to head with Chaves at the Estadio da Luz on Friday evening.
The Flavienses, on the other hand, find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table with just eight games left to go and will need all three points to kickstart their quest for survival.
We say: Benfica 3-0 Chaves
While Chaves will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a significantly superior Benfica side. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we are backing As Aguias to come away with a comfortable victory in front of their home supporters.

Estrela Amadora vs. Sporting Lisbon (Friday, 8.30pm)
Sporting Lisbon will be looking to open up a four-point lead at the top of the Primeira Liga y when they visit the Estadio Jose Gomes to take on Estrela Amadora on Friday.
Having lost each of the last three meetings between the two sides, the Tricolores will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the visitors and extend their unbeaten home run to four games.
We say: Estrela Amadora 0-3 Sporting Lisbon
Estrela have shown their mettle on home turf in recent weeks, but other than frustrating their opponents to a point, we believe Sporting will have enough firepower to come away with the desired result at the Estadio Jose Gomes.
