Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following back-to-back draws with Casa Pia and Famalicao, Portimonense will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Moreirense on Matchday 31. O Portimao are eager to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Sunday’s football game. Talented forward Zinho remains on the sidelines with injury, while Goncalo Costa is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Os Verdes e Brancos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. Moreirense do not seem to be at their sharpest and given the importance of Sunday’s clash for Portimonense, home win should be considered. Both Hernani Infande and Alhassane Sylla should be the only absentees in the visiting team. In the first half of the season Moreirense defeated Portimonense 5-2, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
