Portimonense Preview
Portimonense did not have a good end of the year and their beginning of 2023 was far from being acceptable since they lost the last three matches they played, the last one being a 1-0 defeat against Benfica playing away. After 15 matches played, they have accumulated 19 points, which place them in the 11th place in the Primeira Liga standings, so if they do not want to start suffering with the relegation places, they must win this Friday.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Kōsuke Nakamura, Fahd Moufi, Pedro Henrique, Filipe Relvas, Moustapha Seck, Zié Ouattara, Mohamed Lamine Diaby, Paulo Estrela, Klismahn, Adewale Sapara, Yago Caju.
Santa Clara Preview
Santa Clara is on the brink of relegation, as it is 15th in the standings, with 13 points, just one more than Gil Vicente and three more than Marítimo. Of the last five matches, they have drawn two, won one and lost two, the latter two being losses to Gil Vicente (1-0 away) and Braga (0-4, home). They have a goal difference of -7, and this red number is due to the fact that he scores very few goals. Santa Clara has scored 11 goals, the third-worst record in the Primeira Liga (the worst is Paços de Ferreira, with 8 and last in the ranking).
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Gabriel; Pierre Sagna, Kennedy Boateng, Cristian Marcelo González, Xavi Quintilla, Adriano and Costinha; Gabriel Silva, Bruno Almeida, Ricardinho, Kyosuke Tagawa.
JefeBet Prediction
Neither of these teams are characterized by their offensive power, and the current situation of the home team could play against them, even with their fans cheering for them at home. For this reason, at JefeBet we believe that this will not be a match with a lot of emotions, so it will be a draw.
Prediction: Portimonense vs Santa Clara 0-0.
