Prediction: 1-2
Porto
Estadio Municipal de Portimao will host Saturday’s football game between Portimonense and Porto, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Portimonense are eager to secure the Primeira Liga survival, while Porto’s main goal is to book their place in the Champions League. The Dragons have slim chances of winning the domestic title, but thanks to a 2-0 win over Ferreira they moved one step closer to securing a top-two finish.
Porto are more of a team than Portimonense, and seeing that the hosts failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Santa Clara, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. Despite struggling to find his goalscoring touch, Moussa Marega should be deployed up front, alongside Iran international Mehdi Taremi. Mbaye remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Possignolo ):
Lucas Possignolo is a Brazilian footballer who started his youth career at Sao Paulo, but he did not make his senior debut with the Tricolor. Possignolo moved to Portimonense on loan in 2014, and after scoring four goals in 57 appearances in the league, he signed a permanent deal with the Primeira Liga club in 2017.
The Brazilian defender made his debut in the Portuguese top flight on August 17, 2017, in a 2-1 home win over Boavista. Possignolo scored his first goal in the Primeira Liga in a 5-1 home defeat to Porto on February 25, 2018. His primary position at Portimonense is a centre-back, and his preferred foot is right.
Lucas Possignolo was born in Piracicaba, Brazil, on May 11, 1994. The 185-cm-tall defender, who wears the number 3 jersey at Portimonense, joined Sao Paulo at the age of 17.
Highlighted Team (Porto):
Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP. Rivalries between the clubs stem from the historical, political, economical and cultural discrepancies between the cities of Porto and Lisbon. The Dragons, as they are commonly known in Portugal, are the second most successful Portuguese team with a total of 74 trophies to their name.
Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies. FC Porto’s success extends to the international scene as well with seven European titles. Two-time European champions from 1987 and 2004, Porto also won two UEFA Cup/Europa League titles, the UEFA Super Cup and the International Cup on two occasions.
