Santa Clara vs. Moreirense (Sunday, 3.30pm)
Santa Clara will be determined to snap their winless streak when they host a struggling Moreirense in Round 25 of the Primeira Liga, as they aim to reignite their push for European qualification.
The Azoreans sit fifth in the standings with 39 points, eight behind fourth-placed Braga, after failing to secure victory in any of their last three matches, while a series of poor results has seen the visitors slip to 11th with 27 points.
We say: Santa Clara 2-0 Moreirense
While both sides come into this contest in poor form, Santa have been the stronger team throughout the season, with their current winless run seen as a temporary setback, and facing a struggling Moreirense could provide the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways.

Casa Pia vs. Sporting Lisbon (Sunday, 6.00pm)
Sporting Lisbon will aim to secure back-to-back league victories when they travel to Casa Pia this weekend for round 25 of the Primeira Liga.
The Lions head into this clash fresh from a 3-1 triumph over Estoril Praia on Monday, taking their tally to 56 points and strengthening their grip at the summit.
We say: Casa Pia 1-2 Sporting Lisbon
This match has the makings of a keenly contested battle, with Casa Pia aiming to capitalise on their impressive home run and Sporting's struggles on the road, but given the visitors' dominance in this fixture, they will back themselves to edge past their hosts and strengthen their hold at the summit.

Boavista vs. Guimaraes (Sunday, 8.30pm)
Bottom-placed Boavista will aim to build on their recent success when they welcome Vitoria de Guimaraes for round 25 of the Primeira Liga, seeking to boost their survival hopes.
The Chequered Ones claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Santa Clara last weekend, moving their tally to 15 points and closing the gap on safety to seven.
We say: Boavista 0-0 Vitoria de Guimaraes
With Freire expected to rotate his squad ahead of next week's European clash, Vitoria may not be at full strength, though their knack for salvaging results in recent encounters suggests a tight contest, probably ending goalless, especially with Boavista also struggling for cutting edge.
