Portimonense Preview
The Portimonense team has struggled to climb out of the second half of the Primeira Liga standings. It currently ranks 13th after 18 matches played, of which it has won 6, drawn 2 and lost 10. In all the dates that have been played so far, the team has managed to score 15 goals and allowed 25, for a total of -10 goals against.
In the five most recent matches in the Primeira Liga, Portiminense has not been able to get good results. In fact, the team has not won a game in six dates. It has lost four of five matches, obtaining results such as 1-2 against Casa Pia, 1-0 against Benfica, 4-0 against Arouca, and 4-2 against Boavista. Meanwhile, the team has also recorded a tie against Santa Clara 0-0. Its opponents in the Portuguese league have undoubtedly put their foot down.
But, should the team win this game, it could even move up to tenth place, which would be a very positive result for them. However, the team’s level is not that high and it needs to improve its defense and goal conversion rate in order to achieve greater things. The three goals the team has managed to score in these matches came from Luquinha, Fahd Moufi and Paulo Estrela.
Possible Portimonense lineup (4-3-3): Kosuke Namakura; Fahd Moufi, Filipe Relvas, Gonçalo Costa, Moustapha Seck; Henrique Jocu, Pedro Sá, Welinton Junior; Bryan Róchez, Anderson de Oliveira, Rui Gomes.
Paços Ferreira Preview
On the other hand, Paços Ferreira is not much better off than Portimonense. The team currently sits at the bottom of the standings, and although it has played one more game than its next opponent, it has only won 2 matches, drawn 3 and lost 14. Moreover, the team has scored 12 goals, but it has added up 35 goals scored against for a -23 goal difference and just 9 points.
However, Pacos Ferreira’s last five matches show a slight improvement in its performance. Indeed, the team has won two matches, one against Rio Ave by a 0-1 score, and one against Gil Vicente by a 2-1 score. It has drawn one match against Chaves 1-1, and lost two games, against Sporting Braga 1-2, and Benfica 0-2. This gives the Pacos team a good feeling ahead of the second half of the tournament.
Paços Ferreira players who have scored in the team’s last matches were Zé Uilton, Nigel Thomas, Jordan Holsgrove, Adrián Butzke and Nuno Lima. Pacos Ferreira will undoubtedly want to avoid relegation from the Primeira Liga at all costs, and in this Portimonense vs Pacos Ferreira clash the team will be looking for the three points with every chance it gets.
Possible Paços Ferreira lineup (3-5-2): Jordi; Tiago Ilori, Pedro Ganchas, Nuno Lima; Vitorino Antunes, Rui Pires, Luíz Carlos, Zé Uilton, Nicolás Gaitán; Nigel Thomas, Arthur Sales.
JefeBet Prediction
Ahead of this clash, we can say that the most recent results do not support Portimonense and that Paços Ferreira has increased its level a little. Whether this improvement has been possible because of desperation to avoid relegation or by technical strategies, it still seems to be beneficial for the Pacos team.
Prediction: Paços Ferreira win 2-1.
