Tondela v Benfica

Benfica suffered a shock defeat at home to Gil Vicente last time out but they should return to winning ways at 13th-placed Tondela, who were beaten 3-2 by mid-table Vizela in their last league assignment on their own patch.

Salernitana v Spezia

Spezia are in a rich vein of form and can record a fourth straight away league success at Serie A basement-boys Salernitana, who have lost their last six league fixtures on home turf. Spezia's recent victims on the road include Napoli and Milan, so they should be confident about their chances at the Arechi Stadium.

Athletic Bilbao v Espanyol

Athletic Bilbao have knocked out Barcelona and Real Madrid at home in the Copa del Rey within the last fortnight and have little to fear against Espanyol in La Liga. The visitors have taken just one point from their last three league matches.

Moreirense v Belenenses

The bottom two clubs in Portugal do battle in a relegation six-pointer and it should go the way of hosts Moreirense. The visitors have picked up only four points in ten away league games, scoring just three times in the process.
