Resurgent Estoril Praia will hope to continue their impressive run when they welcome stalemate merchants Vitoria de Guimaraes for their 19th Primera Liga encounter of the campaign.
The Canaries are currently enjoying their best spell of the season, having recorded consecutive victories in their last two matches to extend their unbeaten streak to three, while the visitors have drawn each of their last five games in the top flight.
We say: Estoril Praia 1-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes
While Vitoria have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning the last seven encounters, their current struggles to turn draws into victories could shift this one toward a more balanced outcome.
Estoril's recent form suggests they will put up a strong challenge, but with both teams having their strengths and weaknesses, a stalemate feels like the most likely result.

Embattled Porto welcome Santa Clara to Estadio do Dragao this Sunday for their 19th Primeira Liga match of the season, hoping to reverse their fortunes.
The Dragons head into the weekend on a four-match losing streak across all competitions, while the visitors have failed to win either of their last two games.
We say: Porto 2-1 Santa Clara
Despite Porto's recent struggles, their perfect home record in the top flight remains intact, providing a strong boost as they seek their first win of the year against Santa Clara, a side they have never failed to beat on their turf.

Fresh off the back of yet another Europa League defeat, Braga return to action in the Primeira Liga when they play host to Boavista at the Estadio Braga Municipal on Sunday.
Currently rooted to the bottom of the league standings, the visitors will head into the weekend looking to end their run of eight consecutive games without a win and secure their first victory over Os Arcebispos since December 2021.
We say: Braga 2-0 Boavista
Braga will be licking their lips as they welcome the challenge of an out-of-sorts Boavista side who have failed to taste victory in their last eight outings since November 2. Carvalhal's men have won their last four games against Boavista, and given the gulf in quality between the two sides, we are backing them to extend this streak on Sunday.
