Seeking to pick up their first win on home soil this season, league bottom-dweller Pacos de Ferreira play host to Gil Vicente at the Estadio Capital do Movel on Tuesday.

The visitors, who have experienced a recent upturn in form, head into the midweek clash in search of a fourth win in five league outings as they look to move into the top half of the Primeira Liga standings.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 0-2 Gil Vicente

After a rough end to 2022, Gil Vicente have turned their fortunes around since the turn of the year and will be looking to continue in the same vein. Given the contrasting form between the two sides and Pacos de Ferreira's lack of sting up top, we are backing the Gilistas to claim all three points in this one.

Still licking their wounds from last week's Taca da Liga exit, Arouca play host to Benfica at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca in round 18 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Tuesday.

As Aguias, who will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the league table to 10 points, head into the midweek clash unbeaten in five consecutive games and will look to keep the ball rolling.

We say: Arouca 0-2 Benfica

Currently firing on all cylinders, Benfica have stamped their name as firm title contenders and will be looking to maintain their fine run of form. Looking at past results in this fixture, we are backing As Aguias to come out on top once again and end Arouca's unbeaten run in the league.
