Portimonense welcome the visitors Moreirense in the Portuguese Primeira Liga – Round 27. The match will be held on Friday, March, 29th, at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao (Portimao).
The hosting Portimonense are kind of funny. At home, they drawed against Braga, won Sporting and Benfica, but lost to Rio Ave, Boavista, and the second-last Chaves. The team are homeplayers – they gained 6 of their 9 wins at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao and lost only thrice to the opponents enumerated above. After a long crisis (the side racked up a sole point in 6 fixtures), Portimonense won in the clash with Nacional and drawed against Belenenses.

The visiting Moreirense are neither threatened by relegation, nor they claim for medals. The team sit 6th in the standings and have an 18-point buffer from the red zone. Moreirense run 13 points off the European spots, and the 4th Sporting will not drop this handicap in 8 remaining rounds. This is what the Portuguese Primeira Liga is all about – the 5th, the 6th, and the 7th team in the league may safely try their second squads well before the end of the campaign.
Though the hosts sit 10th, they are only 6 points above the relegation zone. Therefore, it is not the time to relax yet; 3-4 slipups may easily turn the place in the middle of the table to a bottom spot. Unlike their guests, Portimonense are highly motivated to succeed on Friday. Moreover, they won Moreirense in the last home clash, but failed to do so in 5 consecutive home matches before (3 losses). Also, they conceded to Moreirense this campaign. Thus, apart from the table ambitions, Portimonense need to please their fans and thank for the support. Considering all the above, we assume that the motivated hosts will manage to beat the traveling side who play out the season.
Prediction for the match: Portimonense to win home.
