Famalicao look to extend their unbeaten run when FC Alverca make the trip north on Monday evening.
The hosts secured a commanding Liga Portugal win at Nacional before the international break, while Alverca picked up back-to-back victories in September.
Both teams have improved in recent weeks, but home advantage could give Carlos Carvalhal's side the edge.

Famalicao team overview
Famalicao return to action after securing an emphatic 4:0 victory against Nacional in their most recent league fixture.
Georgios Koutsias and Sorriso both scored twice as Carlos Carvalhal's side claimed their first victory of the campaign.
That result extended Famalicao's unbeaten run to four league matches following three successive draws against Gil Vicente, Estrela da Amadora and Sporting CP.
A solid home record proved the foundation for Famalicao’s impressive fifth-placed finish last season. Carvalhal’s men won nine and lost only four of 17 games at Estádio Municipal de Famalicão.
While yet to win at home this season, Monday’s fixture represents a good opportunity to secure back-to-back Liga Portugal wins. Famalicao won six of their last 11 league fixtures at this venue.
Head coach Carvalhal has some selection concerns to deal with. Romeo Beney is suspended, while Tom van de Looi is expected to remain unavailable through injury.
Koutsias and Sorriso should retain their places after combining for all four goals against Nacional.

FC Alverca team overview
FC Alverca make the trip to Estádio Municipal de Famalicão after securing a narrow 1:0 victory against Rio Ave before the international break.
Dawda Camara scored the only goal after just three minutes as Sergio Ferreira's side recorded their second successive league victory.

Julian Martinez, Nabil Touaizi and Ian Luccas face late fitness tests to determine their availability this week.
Yaya Bojang, Isaac James, Dawda Camara and Samy Merheg have returned from international duty and are available for Monday's contest.
