Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Pacos Ferreira will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Boavista and Casa Pia when they take on Santa Clara on Matchday 24. Ferreira are ten points behind the safe zone, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home team. Since there are no fresh injury worries in Cesar Peixoto’s team, home win should be considered.
Os Acoreanos, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game losing run, but given poor away record in the 2022/2023 season, we believe that the time has come for Pacos Ferreira to get back on course in the national championship. Ricardinho limped off with injury in a 3-1 loss to Guimaraes, with Rildo likely to step up. You should bear in mind that Santa Clara have already suffered eight defeats on the road this season.
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.
