Famalicao take on the visitors Portimonense in the round 22 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, February 24th at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao (Vila Nova de Famalicao).
In this match, Famalicao are favored by bookmakers, even though they are slightly lower in the table, due to the home field advantage. It is quite possible that we will see a victory for the hosts, but we should not expect a lot of goals from them. In the 21 rounds, the players of this team scored only 21 goals, which is not very impressive. In the last five matches of the league, they scored more than one goal in only one match. However, at home, Famalicao can easily play to a clean sheet, as seen in recent matches against Estoril (1-0) and Rio Ave (0-0).

I don't expect a lot of goals from Portimonense either. They may not even be able to score a single goal. Overall, this season they score even less than the hosts - in 21 rounds they have only managed to score 18 times. While Portimonense has recently been getting good results at home and even winning, they have looked weak in away matches. In their last four away matches, they lost to Benfica, Arouca, Boavista, and Vitoria Guimaraes, and in three of these matches, they did not score any goals.
We don't expect many goals in this match. We think there will be less than three. Although Famalicao and Portimonense are technically rivals in the fight for survival, in reality, both are far from the danger zone. There is no point in attacking with all their might and flying forward blindly, neither for the hosts nor for the visitors. However, they can try to play more reliably in defense. Both teams this season play more often through the low total rather than by breaking it together with their opponents. Famalicao and Portimonense's personal meetings have also not been very rich in goals, with the results of their last three matches being 0-1, 0-1, and 1-1. In matches involving the hosts this season, on average, 2.4 goals are scored per game, and for the visitors, this indicator is even lower at 2.1. Our prediction is Under 2.5 scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
