PORTIMONENSE v GUIMARAES B
Wednesday 15th February 2017 – Kickoff: 1600hrs
Football – Portugal – Segunda Liga Betting Tips
Portuguese Segunda Liga leaders Portimonense still remain the only side in the whole division to avoid defeat at home so far this season, and with the visit of Guimaraes B tonight to their Estádio do Portimonense SC who hold a poor away record, this record should remain intact this evening.
Portimonense head into this fixture though without a win from their last three league games as they suffered defeat at Uniao Madeira away from home which was sandwiched by stalemates against Penafiel and Academica, drawing 2-2 and 0-0 respectively.
But with an impressive home record which stands at 11-2-0 28/5 and the best defensive record at home in the division also, the hosts will be in confident mood that they can take all three points tonight to move closer to automatic promotion to the Primeira Liga.
Visitors Vitoria Guimaraes B currently sit mid-table with apparently nowhere to go for the remainder of this season. There’s no hope of catching the teams above them for promotion, while they hold a five point cushion ahead of the teams currently situated in the relegation play-off zone.
If anything, they’re closer to relegation than anything else, so a trip to league leaders Portimonense is probably one of the last things they’d like to do right now! In addition, Guimaraes’ away record stands at a poor 2-2-8 11/17 and despite registering recent home wins over Santa Clara and Freamunde, they are still struggling on the road.
This is reflected by losing their last four away matches on the trot with losses incurred at Sporting Braga B, Benfica B, Desportivo Aves and Leixoes – conceding 8 goals and scoring just 3 in reply.
Pick: Portimonense AH-1 @ 1.52 bet365
