Bringing the curtain down on another top-flight campaign, Famalicao welcome top-half chasers Casa Pia to Estadio Municipal 22 de Junho in the Primeira Liga on Friday night.

Famalicenses will be aiming to record three straight victories at the end of the term, while Os Gansos are looking to halt a run of back-to-back defeats.

We say: Famalicao 1-2 Casa Pia
Heading into this match knowing eighth place will be their final position, there could be a drop in performance levels from Famalicao on Friday.

Casa Pia still harbour faint hopes of finishing in the top nine and we reckon that Os Gansos will earn a victory to give themselves a chance of escaping the bottom half.

Both aiming to end their respective campaigns on a positive note, Rio Ave will welcome Portuguese giants Benfica to Estadio do Rio Ave for a Primeira Liga clash on Friday night.

Vilacondenses are looking to conclude their season with their impressive unbeaten run intact, while the Eagles are hoping to build on a handsome home success last time out.

We say: Rio Ave 1-4 Benfica
With a top-half finish still a possibility, Rio Ave should be raring to go on Friday night. However, the visit of Benfica looks set to be a challenging assignment.

The Eagles will be playing with no fear as the Primeira Liga title has already escaped them, meaning the visitors should be relaxed enough to continue their rich vein of form in front of goal.
