Estoril Praia are seven points and five places behind Famalicao in the Primeira Liga table heading into Sunday's gameweek 12 encounter at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota.
The hosts, 12th in the standings, have secured one victory in their previous five and hope to record success after a two-match wait when they welcome a side keen to extend their undefeated streak to three.
We say: Estoril Praia 0-0 Famalicao
While one goal either side could settle Sunday's match, Estoril and Famalicao's inclination to embrace caution could see both sides accept a point at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota.

Fresh off the back of crashing out of the Taca de Portugal, Arouca play host to Benfica at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 12 of the Primeira Liga on Sunday.
Having won the last 11 meetings between the two teams since August 2015, As Aguias will head into the weekend looking to extend their dominance over the hosts and move within five points of the top of the standings.
We say: Arouca 0-3 Benfica
Benfica are currently firing on all cylinders and will be backing themselves to see off an out-of-sorts Arouca side who have endured a difficult start to the season. That said, we predict a one-sided affair at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca, with As Aguias claiming all three points.

AVS vs. Braga (Sunday, 8.30pm)

AVS begin December's Primeira Liga action against Braga, keen to end their winless streak in Sunday's gameweek 12 clash at Estadio Clube Desportivo das Aves.
The promoted side, two points above the relegation zone, could slide into the bottom two this weekend if they lose to their fifth-placed opponents seeking a response to a 4-2 loss against unblemished Sporting Lisbon before November's international break.
We say: AVS 0-2 Braga
Despite continental exertions on Thursday, Braga's impressive run of avoiding an away league loss to every side outside the 'Big Three' since September 2023 at Farense should continue this weekend with a routine triumph against off-form AVS.
