Chaves will be looking to get their 2023-24 Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign up and running when they play host to Estrela Amadora at the Estsdio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Sunday.
Off the back of last season's seventh-placed finish, the hosts have kicked off the new campaign with five defeats in their opening five matches and will come into the weekend desperate to stop the rot.
We say: Chaves 2-1 Estrela Amadora
Chaves have endured a horror start to the new campaign and will head into the weekend looking to pick up a morale-boosting result. However, the Flavienses take on an inexperienced Estrela side who have struggled for results on the road and we fancy them snapping their losing streak this weekend.

Benfica make the trip to Estadio Municipal de Portimao to face Portimonense looking to extend their winning streak in Primeira Liga to five matches.
At a time when the champions sit in fourth position in the standings, the home side are 13th despite putting together a run of three games without defeat.
We say: Portimonense 1-4 Benfica
Having stunned Vitoria last time out, Portimonense will back themselves to take something from a Benfica side that have not always been convincing this season. However, we feel that the 2022-23 title winners will be motivated to let out some frustration after their disappointment in the Champions League.

Braga vs. Boavista (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Sporting Braga will hope to return to winning ways when they take on high-flying Boavista in the Primeira Liga at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday evening.
The hosts are currently in eighth place with seven points after the first five matches of the season, while the visitors lead the league standings in the early stages with 13 points.
We say: Braga 2-2 Boavista
While Braga have made a less-than-ideal start to the season, their quality is undeniable, and we expect them to find their rhythm sooner rather than later. However, the visitors are already in top gear this term and look very difficult to beat.
We feel like this match will deliver a few goals but expect that it will finish level at the end.
