SC Farense hosts Portimonense in round 29 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 27th at Estádio de São Luís (Faro)
SC Farense was not bad at the beginning of the 90s. Then the Lions of Faro made it to the cup final and climbed to a high 5th place, which allowed them to try their hand in European cups. But the 21st century was a failure for a long time. In fact, the club was put on the brink of extinction and was forced to rise from the 6th division of the country. Back in 2018, it played in the 3rd league and won a promotion only on the second attempt. Many believe that they will return back in May. However, after three consecutive defeats in April, the Lions of Faro managed to beat Pacos de Ferreira, which is in fifth place. One more success, and they can reach Boavista or even Rio Ave.

Portimonense has spent a lot of time in the 2nd division in this decade. But having won it in 2017, the Black-and-Whites no longer dropped out of the elite. They didn’t manage to rise above the 10th place, but, most importantly, they finished above the relegation zone every time. The 2019/2020 season brought the final 17th position. Now the club looks clearly better, although it did not manage to include Keisuke Honda in the roster for the season. The ex-player of CSKA Moscow and Milan came in February as a free agent, but the officials did not manage to add him to the club's list on time. However, even without the Japanese, Portimonense managed to arrange a spurt in the form of three consecutive victories in April. The team scored 32 points, which allowed it to climb to the higher part of the standings. Not surprisingly, Paulo Sergio's charges failed to show almost anything against Benfica and lost 1-5. Will they find motivation for a match against one of the outsiders?
Portimonense has not lost four head-to-head matches in a row. In the current championship, when the clubs met after a long pause, the Black-and-Whites won 2-0 at home. Farense will try, but now it will be confronted by a team that has gained optimal shape. Moreover, the visitors will be angry after the defeat, albeit to a grandee. We think that Portimonense will manage to gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Portimonense to win with +0.5 handicap
