The visiting side are taking the 9th line in the league table. In 14 rounds, they lost 6 times, won 6 times, and drawed twice, featuring 20 goals scored and 25 goals allowed. In their away matches on the road, Portimonense netted only 4 goals and missed 13. In the previous 5 outings, they lost to Aves, 3:0, won Nacional, 0:1, lost to Moreirense, 2:0, lost to Porto, 4:1, and won Feirense, 0:1. The team perform very weak away from home.
Going by the hosts’ stats, their defense are stronger in clashes with higher teams; they are not very effective indeed, but their defense perform better at this. In our view, the coming clash will end either in 1:1 or in 0:0. Both teams suffer similar problems. We could also bet on the Under 2.5 goals, but a draw is more preferable.
Prediction for the match: Draw.
