Prediction: 1-0
Portimonense
Santa Clara will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Benfica when they welcome Portimonense to their Estadio de Sao Miguel on Monday evening. Santa Clara have been showing signs of improvement in 2020, and given their fine display in the defeat to Benfica, home win should be considered. Both Lincoln and Crysan are back from suspension, and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping.
O Portimao, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Boavista. Portimonense are on an eight-game winless run in the Portuguese top flight, and they are unlikely to spoil Santa Clara’s party at Estadio de Sao Miguel. Lucas Possignolo returns to contention after serving his one-game ban in the last league match. In the first half of the season Portimonense defeated Santa Clara 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
