With just three rounds remaining in the Primeira Liga, SC Farense welcome Famalicao to Estadio de Sao Luís this weekend knowing that anything less than a win would end their hopes of avoiding the drop outright.
The hosts are clinging on in the relegation battle and must find a way to close the gap on those above them, while Fama head south determined to keep their faint European hopes alive.
We say: SC Farense 0-1 Famalicao
Farense have hosted Famalicao four times across the Primeira and Segunda Liga, with three of those meetings ending in stalemates and the other a home win.
That said, while Fama's recent away displays have been unconvincing, this may still shape up to be a narrowly contested victory for the visitors given the hosts' struggles at Sao Luís.

Vitoria de Guimaraes will head to the Estadio da Madeira this weekend with eyes firmly set on securing European football, while Nacional aim to seal their safety on their return to the top flight.
With just three games left in the Primeira Liga, the Conquerors hold a slender grip on the Europa Conference League spot, while the hosts sit on the brink of confirming survival in their first season back among the elite.
We say: Nacional 0-1 Vitoria de Guimaraes
Nacional's strong record at home in this fixture might come into play, but Vitoria arrive in better shape and should have enough to edge this contest.

Braga will aim to get back to winning ways and tighten their grip on third place when they welcome Conference League-chasing Santa Clara this Saturday for round 32 of the Primeira Liga.
The hosts have collected 64 points from 19 victories, seven draws and five defeats, two points clear of fourth-placed Porto, while the visitors are one point adrift of fifth-placed Vitoria de Guimaraes.
We say: Braga 1-0 Santa Clara
This game has all the markings of a tightly contested one, but with Braga's formidable form on home turf and their dominance in this fixture, they should edge this encounter.

Estoril Praia will be hoping to finish their campaign on a respectable note when they welcome title-chasing Benfica to the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota this weekend.
However, the stakes are much higher for the visitors, who remain locked in a neck-and-neck battle with Sporting Lisbon for the crown, with only three games remaining in the Primeira Liga season.
We say: Estoril Praia 1-4 Benfica
Benfica arrive brimming with confidence, with intent on a commanding performance, and considering their explosive attacking rhythm in recent weeks, such an outcome appears well within reach.
However, Estoril might still sneak one past the visitors given they have scored in six of their last seven outings on home soil, even if they drew a blank in the most recent.
