The Primeira Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pacos de Ferreira welcome Braga to the Estadio Capital do Movel on Saturday.
The visitors will head into the game seeking to get one over the hosts after failing to win any of their two encounters last season.
We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-3 Braga
Pacos de Ferreira will head into the tie in sky-high spirits after securing a hard-earned win away to Portimonense last time out. However, they take on a Braga side who will be aiming to close the gap on the teams at the top of the table.
While we expect Os Castores to put up a fight, we are tipping the visitors to come away with all three points given the gulf in class between the two squads.

We say: Santa Clara 0-2 Benfica
Benfica have enjoyed a superb run of games in all competitions and have shown early signs of a proper title charge in the Primeira Liga this season.
They take on a Santa Clara side who will be looking to put together a decent run of form after picking up their first win of the season last time out.
However, we predict they will send the hosts crashing back down to earth and strengthen their lead at the top of the standings.
