Prediction: 1-0
Arouca
Portimonense and Arouca go head to head at Estadio Municipal de Portimao in the Liga Portugal round 15. Portimonense quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Porto, with the team beating Moreirense thanks to Boa Morte’s goal, and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Defender Achraf Lazaar remains on the sidelines through injury for the hosts. Arouca, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Vizela.
The visitors do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the trip to Portimao, and given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. All Pite, Quaresma, and Dabbagh are pushing for a start for the visiting team, with all Altman, Silva, and Ba likely to drop to the bench after the trio failed to impress in the last league match.
Highlighted Player (Achraf Lazaar):
Achraf Lazaar was born in Casablanca, Morocco on January 22, 1992, but he moved to Italy with his parents in 2003. The left-footed footballer began his youth career at Raja Casablanca and he joined Varese’s youth academy in 2009.
Lazaar made his debut for the senior team in 2012. He made 37 league appearances for Varese, but he did not find the net during his spell at the Stadio Franco Ossola outfit. In January 2014 he signed a contract with Palermo and he has been playing for the Sicilian outfit ever since.Lazaar plays as a left back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a left back as well. Seeing that he was unable to play for Italy, the Palermo footballer decided to represent Morocco on the international stage. He made his Morocco debut on 23 may, 2014 in a friendly against Mozambique. Morocco recorded a routine 4-0 win over Mozambique back then. Achraf Lazaar has a contract with Palermo which expires on 30 June, 2017.
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.
