Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Primeira Liga survival will be at stake when AVS and Portimonense take on each other at Estadio do CD das Aves in the return leg. AVS are eager to defend their slim lead in front of home fans and we are positive that they will adopt a defence-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Bear in mind, though, that experienced midfielder Fabio Pacheco is banned for the decider.
O Portimao, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge, but beating AVS on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in Vila das Aves and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the visiting team, both Goncalo Costa and Igor Formiga are pushing for a start as boss Paulo Sergio is expected to shuffle his pack. Zinho remains on the sidelines with injury.

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.
