Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Portimonense and Vizela take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Portimao in what is expected to be a close encounter. O Portimao are on a three-game losing run in the national championship, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. Carlinhos is a major doubt, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Vizela, meanwhile, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to both Benfica and Braga, while beating Estoril.
Tulipa’s troops, on the other hand, are 13 points clear of the danger zone, meaning that the hosts want this win more than the visitors. As for the away team, Bruno Wilson remains in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players ahead of the trip to Portimao. In the first half of the season Vizela defeated Portimonense 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
