Betting on Clube Desportivo Santa Clara
Let’s kick off with the last-place team in the Primeira Liga, facing an almost inevitable relegation. In the 32 matches played so far, it has only managed to secure four wins and seven draws, with an alarming goal difference of -30. However, the team has been gradually improving, as evidenced by its recent victory over Gil Vicente and draws against Portimonense and Boavista.
Its best performances of the season have come at home, with three wins and five draws on its field. Nonetheless, its biggest weakness is its defense, as it has still conceded an average of 1.81 goals per game at home.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Gabriel Batista; Pierre Sagna, Ygor Nogueira, Kennedy Boateng, Matheus Araújo; Bruno Jordão, Adriano Firmino, Ricardinho, Bruno Almeida, Gabriel Silva; Matheus Babi.
Betting on Portimonense Sporting Clube
On the other hand, Portimonense has managed to avoid the threat of relegation from the Primeira Liga and currently holds the 13th place on the standings. While a win wouldn’t mean moving up in the rankings, it could bring this team within just two points of Rio Ave and distance itself from Gil Vicente, whom it is tied with in points.
The last five games have been challenging for Portimonense, with two of them against Braga and Benfica resulting in heavy losses. However, Portimonense managed to secure a draw against Casa Pia and beat Estoril and Gil Vicente, teams that are much closer to Santa Clara in the standings. This shows that although the team may struggle against the top teams in the Primeira Liga, it can dominate against lesser opponents.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Kosuke Nakamura; Fahd Moufi, Park Ji-soo, Moustapha Seck, Pedrão; Filipe Relvas, Alemão, Maurício, Carlinhos; Yony González, Yago Cariello.
JefeBet Prediction
The Santa Clara vs Portimonense match is shaping up to be a real nail-biter, with the visitors looking to score some crucial points. While Santa Clara may manage to get at least one goal on the board, Portimonense is likely to come out on top without much of a struggle, given its recent form against similar teams.
Prediction: Portimonense Moneyline and both teams score: yes (SAN 1-2 POR)
