Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense will look to build on the Portuguese Cup win over Covilha when they take on Estoril at Estadio Municipal de Portimao. O Portimao have been having their ups and downs of late, but they will not have a better opportunity than this to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga as they take on the rock-bottom side on Saturday afternoon. The good news for the home team is that important defender Goncalo Costa returns from suspension.
Os Canarinhos, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only four points on their account. The relegation strugglers have been struggling at the back in the first half of the season, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Estoril midfielder Jordan Holsgrove is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Portimonense):
Based in Portimao, Portimonense is a Portuguese football club that play home games at Estadio Municipal in Algarve. The capacity of the stadium that was opened in 1937 is 9,544. Portimonense welcome their rivals in black and white shirts and black shirts, whilst yellow is dominant colour of their away kit.
The black and whites finished the 1984/1985 Primeira Liga campaign in 5th position in the standings and, as a result, booked their place in the UEFA Cup. Portimonense did well to Partizan 1-0 on their debut in the European competition, but they suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to the famous Serbian club in the reverse fixture at Yugoslav National Army Stadium.
Fellow Algavre clubs Farense and Olhanense are considered the club’s main rivals. Jackson Martinez is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club. The Colombian attacker is considered one of the most successful attackers in the history of Porto as he scored 67 goals in 90 appearances for the Dragons in the Primeira Liga.
