Contents
Stalemate
Portimonense produced a very strong performance against Benfica in the recent match. Even though the team did suffer a defeat at the end of the day, it was by a very narrow margin. Santa Clara, unfortunately, have been very poor throughout the campaign and they are now heading towards the bottom three places in the league table. In the recent head-to-head meetings, this prediction has noticed that Portimonense and Santa Clara can be quite hard to separate. Furthermore, the visitors have the confidence of a new manager in the dugout.
Total goals under 2.5
The lack of a victory for Portimonense in the recent four home matches is a major problem with regards to confidence. Santa Clara head into the match with a new manager and this is likely to boost their own confidence levels even if recent results have not been great. The two teams are likely to be quite poor in front of goal once again – as they have been in many of the recent matches.
Both teams to score – yes
The defence of Portimonense and Santa Clara has been a big let down. In the last six meetings between each other, there have been goals at both ends of the pitch. This prediction expects the same to continue in the upcoming match.
Portimonense vs Santa Clara: Preview, Form Analysis, and Team News
Portimonense
Portimonense have dropped down to 11th place following the latest loss against Benfica – the third in a row in the league. Just one of the 15 league matches this season involving Portimonense has ended in a stalemate. Even Portimonense zone head-to-head record against Santa Clara is great with only one win in the last six meetings. Carlinhos and Welinton Júnior remain on the sidelines for the home team.
Santa Clara
Santa Clara continue to struggle for ideas with regards to getting the team back on track when it comes to survival in the league. One positive for Santa Clara will be the return of Costinha. Meanwhile, Jorge Simao has been brought as the replacement for Mario Silva and the new coach may not make a lot of changes straightaway.
