Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Municipal de Chaves will host Saturday’s Primeira Liga game between Chaves and Portimonense, the two teams who are level on points in the table. Chaves suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games against Porto, and they must be low on spirits ahead of the visit of O Portimao. Joao Teixeira is back from suspension, but both Jo and Joao Mendes are banned for the match after the duo was sent off in the last league fixture.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Famalicao and Sporting, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Goncalo Costa and Carlinhos are major doubts, and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, speaking of the away side.
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.
