Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense will look to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Primeira Liga when they face Estrela on Saturday evening. O Portimao have been struggling at the back at the start of the season, with the team already conceding ten goals in the process and, no doubt, they are eager to give fans something to cheer about. Head coach Paulo Sergio should have a full squad to choose from for the round 4 game.
The newcomers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Estoril, but seeing that Portimonense are tough to beat at home, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s clash. Both Joao Reis and Mario Balburdia are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Faro.
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.
