Portimonese vs Pacos Ferreira Predictions

• Pacos Ferreira sit 1pt and one place above Portimonense in the Primeira Liga table.
• Both teams scored in four of the last five matches between these two clubs.
• Portimonense have drawn three of their last six matches 1-1.
• Pacos Ferreira have only failed to score in one of their last six matches in all competitions.

Portimonense have just one home win to their name this season

Portimonense secured a 1-1 draw away at Boavista last weekend and face another potentially tricky test at home on Saturday when they take on newly-promoted Pacos Ferreira who beat Moreirense 1-0 last time out. Five of the hosts’ last six matches have seen both teams score and the visitors have scored in five of their last six matches, so you can see why we have backed goals in this game at both ends of the pitch.

Portimonense have only managed to win one of their seven home games in the Primeira Liga so far this season while Pacos Ferreira have only picked up one win on the road, which is part of the reason we have backed a draw between the pair this weekend. The hosts only average 0.87 points per home game while the visitors average 0.57 points per away game, which suggests that a draw could well be on the cards this weekend.

Pacos Ferreira don’t score many goals on the road

The hosts score an average of just 0.80 goals per home game in the Primeira Liga this season and Pacos Ferreira average 0.57 goals per away game, so you can see why we have backed a 1-1 draw this Saturday and why it is unlikely we will see over 2.5 goals scored. 47% of Portimonense’s home games have ended in stalemates and the hosts have drawn three of their last six matches in all competitions, while Pacos Ferreira have only won 14% of their away games.

Only 33% of Portimonense’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals this season while just 29% of Pacos Ferreira’s away games have seen three or more goals scored, which is why we aren’t expecting any more than two goals to feature in Saturday’s clash. Another reason not to expect many goals in this game is the fact that Portimonense have only scored seven times at home and Pacos Ferreria have netted just four times on the road but both teams have conceded into the double figures and that is why we have backed both teams to score.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The hosts don’t win many games at home and their guests don’t win many games on the road, couple that with both teams’ poor goals return and you can see just why we have backed a 1-1 draw between the pair this Saturday.
