Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense
Match Time & Date:
21/08/2022
02:30 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Guimaraes
After rolling over Pacos Ferreira 3-0 on the road, Portimonense wil look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Vitoria Guimaraes on Matchday 3. O Portimao did well to take advantage of Ze Uilton’s sending off at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Sunday’s football game. Luqinha is widely expected to replace Anderson in the starting XI, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
Guimaraes, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chaves and Estoril, but beating Portimonense away from home is easier said than done. In their last meeting at Estadio Municipal de Portimao the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Matheus Salgueiro is back from suspension for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Achraf Lazaar):
Achraf Lazaar was born in Casablanca, Morocco on January 22, 1992, but he moved to Italy with his parents in 2003. The left-footed footballer began his youth career at Raja Casablanca and he joined Varese’s youth academy in 2009.
Lazaar made his debut for the senior team in 2012. He made 37 league appearances for Varese, but he did not find the net during his spell at the Stadio Franco Ossola outfit. In January 2014 he signed a contract with Palermo and he has been playing for the Sicilian outfit ever since.Lazaar plays as a left back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a left back as well. Seeing that he was unable to play for Italy, the Palermo footballer decided to represent Morocco on the international stage. He made his Morocco debut on 23 may, 2014 in a friendly against Mozambique. Morocco recorded a routine 4-0 win over Mozambique back then. Achraf Lazaar has a contract with Palermo which expires on 30 June, 2017.
Highlighted Team (Guimaraes):
Vitoria Guimaraes have always been in the shadow of famous Portuguese sides Porto, Benfica and Sporting, but over the years they have established themselves as a top-table side in the Primeira Liga. Os Vimaranenses did well to win Taca de Portugal in the 2012/2013 season, wi the team beating Benfica in the final of the domestic cup.
Vitoria Guimaraes finished the 2016/2017 Primeira Liga campaign in fourth place in the standings and, as a result, they booked their place in the Europa League qualifiers. The Portuguese side will face the likes of Salzburg, Konyaspor and Olympic Marseille in Group I and they are seen as underdogs in their group. Vitoria Guimaraes welcome their rivals at Estadio D. Alfonso Henriques and the venue can hold up to 30.000 spectators.
Os Vimaranenses play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, whilst they wear black when playing on the road. Their neighbours Braga are considered Guimaraes’ fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the derby of Minho Province.
