Prediction: 1-0
AVS
Portimonense play host to AVS at their Estadio Municipal de Portimao in the Primeira Liga relegation playoffs, first leg. O Portimao finished the regular season in 16th place in the standings, but it has to be noted that they were only one point behind 13th-place Estoril. Given their fine performance in a 3-2 win over Farense, home win should definitely be considered. Left-back Relvas is banned for the match, while talented forward Zinho remains in the recovery room.
Jorge Costa’s men, on the other hand, are determined to secure historical promotion to the Portuguese top flight. However, there is a big value in betting on Portimonense, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Experienced midfielder Luis Silva is banned for the visiting side following his sending-off in a 1-0 loss to Tondela at the weekend. Jorge Costa is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Nene up front as a lone centre-forward.
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.
