Prediction: 1-1
Belenenses
Portimonense will be looking to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Rio Ave when they host Belenenses at their Estadio Municipal de Portimao in the Primeira Liga round 14. Portimonense are still sitting in the ultimate position in the standings, with the team collecting only 11 points from possible 39. Lucas Fernandes remains in the recovery room for the hosts. O Belem, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run in the Portuguese elite division.
Belenenses failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Ferreira, but they are surely capable of sharing the spoils with the rock-bottom side. Richard and Varela remain quarantined for the visitors, while Kau is out of contention through injury. It has to be noted that the two teams shared the spoils in three of their previous four meetings in the Primeira Liga.

The Brazilian defender made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on August 17, 2017, in a 2-1 home win over Boavista. Possignolo scored his first goal in the Primeira Liga in a 5-1 home defeat to Porto on February 25, 2018. His primary position at Portimonense is a centre-back, and his preferred foot is right.

Founded on September 23, 1919, Belenenses are a Portuguese club that host their rivals at Estado do Restelo. The stadium can hold up to 19,856 spectators and it was built in 1956. O Belem play home games in blue shirts and white shorts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
By beating the likes of IFK Goteborg and Rheindorf Altach Belenenses booked their place in the Europa League group stages in the 2015/2016 season. Despite defeating Swiss side Basel in their group, the Portuguese club eventually finished the process in the last position in the standings.
The Estado do Restelo outfit did well to win the Primeira Liga trophy in the 1945/1946 season, with the team finishing the season only one point clear of second-placed Benfica. Speaking of the Portuguese Cup, Belenenses clinched their third Taca de Portugal trophy in the 1988/1989 season. Vitor Godinho is the player with most appearances for the club (272).
