Estrela Amadora and Farense bring round 31 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga to an end when they square off at the Estadio Jose Gomes on Monday.
Their last three encounters have ended in stalemates and both sides will head into the game looking to get one over the other as they look to pull clear of the danger zone.
Estrela Amadora were involved in a share of the spoils for the third consecutive game as they played out a 1-1 draw with Boavista last Saturday.
Sergio Vieira’s men have now gone five straight games without a win, claiming four draws and losing once since March’s 3-1 victory over Casa Pia.
With 29 points from 30 matches, Estrela are 15th in the Primeira Liga standings, just one point above the dreaded relegation zone.
Farense, on the other hand, continued to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against defending champions Benfica last time out.
Jose Mota’s side have now failed to win 11 of their last 12 matches — losing seven and claiming four draws — with a 2-0 victory over Boavista on April 5 being the exception.
Farense have picked up 31 points from 30 Primeira Liga matches to sit 12th in the league table but could move into 10th place with a win on Monday.
