Vitoria Setubal vs Portimonese Predictions

Both Vitoria Setubal and Portimonese have a little bit of work to do before they can breathe a sigh of relief this season, because with just five games to go both teams are yet to secure their Primeira Liga status. However, Vitoria Setubal’s performances in recent weeks have seen them move higher in the table, whereas Portimonense’s form has seen them slip from European hopefuls into the bottom half of the Primeira Liga.

Vitoria Setubal were comfortably beaten by Benfica in the end, but the visitors gave their hosts something to think about as the scoreline ended 4-2. Hosts Benfica went 2-0 up inside the opening thirty-six minutes, but Nuno Valente pulled a goal back for Vitoria Setubal before the break. That pattern continued in the second half as Benfica scored twice before Vitoria Setubal pulled a goal back through Cádiz late on, making the final score 4-2. There wasn’t a lot of goalmouth action when Portimonese played host to Porto on Saturday, but the visitors were clinical with their finishing and in the end ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Brahimi, Marega, and Herrera.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their performances in the Primeira Liga over the last few weeks, suggests that Vitoria Setubal are best placed to claim all three points on Friday and that the hosts have a good chance of keeping a clean sheet. Vitoria Setubal have won three of their last seven matches against Portimonese, and haven’t lost at home against this particular opponent in ten matches. Vitoria Setubal have won two of their last three in the Primeira Liga, while Portimonese have lost four of their last six in the Primeira Liga. The hosts have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches, while their guests have failed to score in two of their last three matches, which is why we believe that a home win is also likely to be joined by a clean sheet for Vitoria Setubal on Friday.

Cádiz moved onto nine league goals for the season for Vitoria Setubal when he netted late against Benfica at the weekend, while former Colombian international Jackson Martínez top scores for Portimonese with eight goals in the Primeira Liga so far this season. We’re confident that Vitoria Setubal will win on Friday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts have form in their favour and an excellent home record against Portimonense, while the visitors have lost their last three matches and have been struggling to score goals of late.
