Portimonense hosts Famalicao in round 10 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Friday, December 18th at Estádio Municipal de Portimão (Portimão)
Portimonense is risking leaving the elite this time. Last season the Black-and-Whites already finished in 17th penultimate place. According to sporting reasons, they had to play at the level of the second Portuguese football division. However, Vitoria Setubal, who finished one line higher, faced financial problems and saved Portimonense. This club did not provide evidence that it did not have tax debts, so the federation sent it to the third league. Its license went to Portimonense, but it looks like the agony has been extended for a year. The Black-and-Whites suffered six defeats in nine matches, earned only seven points, and took the same second place from the end. However, they managed to gain a minimal victory over Nacional in the round before last.

Famalicao gradually stops resembling Wolverhampton. Famalicenses appeared in Primeira last summer. Even though this project also does not do without the influence of the super-agent, Jorge Mendes, they began to compare it with Wolverhampton. After returning from the Championship, this English club immediately took a high place in the Premier League and even played in the Europa League. The Portuguese started very promisingly and were among the leaders, but... In 2020, they began to lose points more often, eventually finishing in sixth position (just behind the European Cup zone). Famalicenses had 54 points, and Rio Ave, which closed the top five, earned one more. Now Famalicao can't make such noise. Nevertheless, the team managed to stop the leading Sporting in the last round (2-2). But before that, there were defeats to Pacos de Ferreira and Rio Ave (1:2 in the cup match).
Portimonense is not impressive, and the victory over Nacional looks like an exception. The maximum that can be taken against a tough middle peasant is a draw. We think the visitors will manage not to lose to their unstable opponents.
Prediction for the match: Famalicao to win with +0.5 handicap
