Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense play host to Casa Pia at their Estadio Municipal de Portimao in the Primeira Liga round 29. O Portimao desperately needed a win against Chaves at the weekend and they managed to get one. Paulo Sergio’s troops did well to put an end to their three-game losing run and they must be high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash. Both Cassama and Formiga are pushing for recalls after the duo got their names on the scoresheet against Chaves, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Gansos, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table. Casa Pia played out boring goalless draw with Estoril at the weekend and yet another close encounter is on the cards. Taking everything into account, both sides should be happy with one point from Sunday’s encounter. The good news for the visiting side is that important defender Duplexe Tchamba is back from suspension.
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.
