Portimonense Preview
Portimonense only registers one win in its last five games, including three losses. They are not going through the best moment of the season, that is why it is important not to lose any more points. They are currently in the middle of the standings, so any more defeats could make them face the abyss of relegation.
Locals have just played a match in the Allianz Cup, where they did not fare well and were defeated by Gil Vicente 3-0. They played with a 4-3-3 formation, but the change did not work. Coach Paulo Sergio had previously opted for a 4-4-2 formation to organize the team, without achieving the change or the results he was looking for. They have been in disarray tactically for some time now.
The worst part of that defeat was that it was at home, and the last time they played in the league at the Municipal Stadium of Portimao, they lost to Braga by a score of 1-2. They need to get back on their feet and score goals now. Their top scorer is Welinton Junior, and he only registers three goals so far, being this a clear indicator of their lack of collective goals.
Possible Lineup (4-2-2): Kosuke Nakamura, Pastor, Pedrao, Filipe Relvas, Moustapha Seck, Klismahn, Henrique Jocú, Paulo Estrela, Yong Hak Kim, Ricardo Matos, Liquinha.
Casa Pia Preview
They are in a slightly better position in the league standings, as they have 3 defeats and 2 victories in their last 5 games. The Allianz Cup game, their most recent appearance after the break, was a victory 1-0 against Trofense.
Filipe Martins has found a balance with the team and does not move from his 3-4-3, making a very offensive team that proposes in midfield with Neto and Romario Baró as the balance of the surprising Casa Pia.
Up front, the trio of Diogo Pinto, Rafael Martins and Saviour Goodwin have performed very well, with Goodwin being the most outstanding player with one assist and three goals so far this season.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Ricardo Batista, Fernando Batista, Fernando Varela, Vasco Fernandes, Leo Bolgado, Lucas Soares, Romario Baró, Neto, Lelo, Saviour Goodwin, Carnejy Antoine, Diogo Pinto
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account both team’s recent results, we are going to opt for Casa Pia, which has a better balanced team and with more ideas than Portimonense, who is struggling to return to winning ways. Tactically they are the superior team without a doubt.
Prediction: Portimonense 0-2 Casa Pia
