Portimonese vs Feirense Predictions

Portimonense’s opponents on Saturday, Feirense, have already been relegated from the Primeira Liga with four matches still left to play after averaging one point every two games. The hosts have failed to win any of their last five matches, but the visit of the division’s bottom club gives the home fans hope of a victory on Saturday.

Portimonense put in a decent display away at Vitoria Setubal last time out, and will have been disappointed not to have won the game. The hosts took the lead shortly after the hour mark and against the run of play, but Portimonense kept piling on the pressure and eventually equalised through Ruster three minutes from time. Feirense created some decent opportunities at home to high flying Braga, but a goal from the visitors early in the second half took the wind out of the hosts sails and the visitors scored again to claim a 2-0 win.

The performances and results of both of these teams over the last few weeks, along with their head to head record, suggests that both teams will score in Saturday’s game and that the most likely winner is Portimonese. Six of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score, and Portimonense have won four of the last seven encounters between the pair. Four of Portimonense’s and three of Feirense’s last six matches have also seen both teams score, but the visitors have lost five of their last six matches in the Primeira Liga and are already relegated. Portimonese haven’t been in good form since returning from the winter break and have failed to win any of their last five matches, but they do have a good recent record against Feirense and have outperformed their guests in all departments this season.

Former Porto and Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez top scores for Portimonese this season with eight league goals, while Edinho remains Feirense’s leading scorer with four goals, but has only scored once in his last ten appearances for the club. We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s match, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Portimonense. The hosts are the better of the two teams and have a good recent record against their guests, but this fixture has so often provided goals at both ends of the pitch and neither side has kept a single clean sheet in their last six matches.
