Portimonese vs Famalicao Predictions

Famalicao are flying high in the Primeira Liga table and no matter what the result they will remain in their place once the weekends’ matches have been completed but given their form the visitors will be expecting a positive result from their trip to Portimonense. The hosts haven’t won any of their last seven matches in all competitions and sit on the same points total as newly-promoted Paco Ferreira who sit in the relegation zone.

All of the stats ahead of Portimonese vs Famalicao point towards a double chance bet on the visitors being the best way to go this weekend and we have predicted a 2-1 win for the in-form newly-promoted club.

Portimonese haven’t won any of their last seven matches in league and cup while Famalicao have only lost two games in all competitions this season. The hosts are yet to win at home in the league and Famalicao have picked up three wins, two draws, and suffered just one defeat away from home in the Primeira Liga.

Portimonese average 0.40 points at home this season, well below the league average of 1.54, while Famalicao average 1.83 points on the road this season, which is above the league average of 1.17. 60% of Portimonese’s home games have ended in defeat this season and Famalicao have won half of their away games in the league, so you can see why have backed Famailcao to avoid defeat this weekend.

Portimonese score an average of 0.80 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.60, while Famalicao score an average of 1.67 goals on the road and concede an average of 1.50 goals. Both teams scored in 60% of Portimonese’s home games and in 67% of Famailcao’s away games this season, which is why we have gone with a final scoreline of 2-1 in the visitors’ favour.

The hosts have only scored four goals at home this season, conceding eight and their guests have scored ten goals on the road and have conceded nine. 67% of Famalicao’s away games and 40% of Portimonese’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals this season, and the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 20% of their home games while the visitors have only failed to score in 17% of their away games.

A majority of Famalicao’s wins have been obtained with a one-goal margin and a majority of Portimonense’s defeats had a one-goal margin, which adds more weight to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline in favour of Famailcao on Saturday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout this Saturday and we have predicted a final score of 2-1. The hosts are in poor form and have struggled for the most part this season, and are still to win at home in the Primeira Liga. Famalicao, on the other hand, have adapted excellently to life in the top flight and are currently the nearest challengers to Benfica and Porto for the league title thanks to them losing just once in the league this season, so confidence is high within the visitors camp.
