Setubal take on the visitors Portimonense at “Estadio do Bonfim” in the round 27 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Friday, March 16th.
Not so long ago Setubal were considered to be in a hopeless position, but fortunately, the team stepped into a streak of home clashes. As a result, the club is sitting now on the 15th place in the elite division table with 24 points gained after 26 encounters played, being only two points above the relegation zone. Setubal show gorgeous performance in front of their fans, having lost only three out of 13 home battles. Moreover, at the home field the side picked up 20 out of 24 generally earned points. Besides, the upcoming hosts recorded three clean sheets in a row in face of their supporters.

Portimonense must be praised for their attacking football which is rather unusual for the elite division debutants which prefer to close in defense. At the moment the club occupies the ninth position in the Primeira Liga standings with 30 points taken after 26 gameweeks behind. As it was mentioned above, the team looks great in attack, having scored 38 goals already unlike its defense which has conceded 45 goals so far. Besides, Portimonense feel uncomfortable on the road, having got only two triumphs in 13 away tackles.
Portimonense celebrated a spectacular 5:2 victory over Setubal in the first-lap fight played at their own turf. However, I don’t believe that Portimonense will be able to succeed once again as the forthcoming hosts will battle for each points because they sit not far away from the dangerous zone while Portimonense will be slightly relaxed by their comfortable situation. Still, basing on this season statistics the visitors should score at least one goal, however, the same can be applied to Setubal.
Prediction for the match: Setubal to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X1). Both teams to score.
