Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense play host to Famalicao at their Estadio Municipal de Portimao on day 13 of the new Primeira Liga campaign. O Portimao aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Casa Pia, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground. Guinea-Bissau forward Midana Cassama misses out through suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Azuis e Brancos, on the other hand, failed to upset Porto (0-3) in their last league match and given Portimonense fine run of results at home ground, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Vila Nova de Famalicao with their hands empty. Zaydou Youssouf serves a one-game ban, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Portimonense defeated Famalicao 1-0, which goes in favour of our prediction.
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.
