Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense and Ferreira square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Portimao in what is expected to be a close Primeira Liga encounter. Portimonense are eyeing their third win of the season, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s football match. Given their display in a 3-0 crushing of Tondela, home win should definitely be considered.
Beto is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts after scoring his second goal of the season in the victory over Tondela. Ferreira, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Estoril, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. It has to be noted that all Diaby, Maracas, and Vigario have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Possignolo ):
Lucas Possignolo is a Brazilian footballer who started his youth career at Sao Paulo, but he did not make his senior debut with the Tricolor. Possignolo moved to Portimonense on loan in 2014, and after scoring four goals in 57 appearances in the league, he signed a permanent deal with the Primeira Liga club in 2017.
The Brazilian defender made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on August 17, 2017, in a 2-1 home win over Boavista. Possignolo scored his first goal in the Primeira Liga in a 5-1 home defeat to Porto on February 25, 2018. His primary position at Portimonense is a centre-back, and his preferred foot is right.
Lucas Possignolo was born in Piracicaba, Brazil, on May 11, 1994. The 185-cm-tall defender, who wears the number 3 jersey at Portimonense, joined Sao Paulo at the age of 17.
Highlighted Team (Ferreira):
Founded on April 5, 1950, Pacos de Ferreira are a Portuguese football club who play their home games at Estadio da Mata Real. The venue can hold up to 9,077 people and it was opened in October 7, 1973. Os Castores are well known for their yellow shirts and green shorts, with the team wearing white and black kit when playing on the travels.
Pacos de Ferreira have yet to win the Primeira Liga trophy, but they did well to make it to the Taca de Portugal final in the 2008/2009 season. Os Castores faced Porto in the title game, with the Dragons attacker Lisandro Lopez scoring the only game of the match.
Two seasons later Pacos de Ferreira faced Benfica in the Taca da Liga final, with the Eagles lifting the trophy. Wolverhampton forward Diogo Jota is one of notable footballers who started their senior careers at Pacos de Ferreira.
