Bets to be placed by 7pm

Braga to beat Pacos de Ferreira

Maritimo to beat Gil Vicente

Chelsea to beat Real Madrid

Sporting to beat Rio Ave

Chelsea are fancied to seal their place in the Champions League final with victory at home to Real Madrid while Braga should be too strong for their Primeira Liga visitors Pacos Ferreira, who have scored only once in six away league games.

Just goal difference separates Maritimo and Gil Vicente in the Portuguese top flight but the hosts have won four of their last five, so they get the nod, before leaders Sporting, who remain unbeaten after 30 fixtures, complete the 14-1 fourfold by winning at Rio Ave.
