Betting on Portimonense
Portimonense went from thinking about European qualification to lighting a candle so as not to go to the second division. The team has won only one of its last eight games and is dangerously close to the relegation zone. The Algarvians’ main problem is that they are defending very poorly.
The team has only 16 goals for and 26 against, and in this eight game winless streak they have allowed 14 goals. Paulo Sergio’s team is not working, and they try to change their tactics every game, but nothing works.
There’s not much season left, so it is imperative that they begin to add up because they have eight points, which, although it seems like a lot, is not that much.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Kosuke Nakamura; Fahd Moufi, Pedrao, Lucas Alves, Filipe Relvas, Moustapha Seck; Mohamed Diaby, Paulo Estrela, Pedro Sá; Welinton Junior, Bryan Rochez.
Betting on Maritimo
Since the beginning of the league, they have not been out of the last places, and they are not last by a miracle because they had a “good” streak. Therefore, they are in second to last place, but it seems that they will be one of those teams who will go to the second division.
They have gone three games without a win and have won only three games in the entire league. They had a eureka moment when they pulled out a 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon that looked like it was their resurrection, but it was not.
They lost the last match against Braga (1-2). Likewise, they started winning, but their happiness vanished away because it took Braga five minutes to turn things around. Their defense is very weak, as they get distracted by everything (they seem five-year-olds) and make silly mistakes.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Giorgi Makaridze; Claudio Winck, Zainadine Junior, Rene Santos, Vitor Costa; Bruno Xadas, Stefano Beltrame, Val, Brayan Riascos; André Vidigal, Pablo Moreno.
JefeBet Prediction
The Verde-rubros has not won away (nor at home, as they lost 0-1 against Portimonense) and The Algarvians are coming a little better (which says a lot), so we believe that, in this Portimonense vs Maritimo, the victory will be for the locals and with that they will take a breath of fresh air.
Prediction: Portimonense 2-1 Marítimo.
