Portimonense Preview – Can Portimonense produce shock?
Wednesday’s hosts, Portimonense, made a successful return to action in the Portuguese top flight last week when they registered a desperately needed three points in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Gil Vicente, and they’ll no doubt be eager for more of the same when Benfica visit on Wednesday evening.
That recent win has given second from bottom outfit, Portimonense, a glimmer of hope ahead of this upcoming clash against Benfica as they are now six points from safety with nine matches remaining of the season.
However, Portimonense had previously had to endure a miserable 12-match sequence without a win in the Primeira Liga while at home, they possess a record of 2-6-4 9/12 with goals being few and far between; but the hosts have lost just one of their last eight matches at home and could keep things tight here.
9 of Portimonense’s 12 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica return to winning ways?
Benfica now possess the slenderest of leads at the top of the Primeira Liga by just a 5-goal difference ahead of 2nd placed Porto ahead of these midweek fixtures in the Portuguese top flight, and although they travel to relegation-threatened Portimonense for this clash, the visitors are by no means guaranteed of all three points here.
This is because Benfica have been held to stalemates in each of their last three league matches in the Portuguese top flight as they’ve drawn with Moreirense 1-1, Vitoria Setubal 1-1 and Tondela 0-0, with the latter result being of particular inspiration for Portimonense as Tondela currently sit fifth from bottom in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica do possess an impressive and solid looking away record though which stands at 10-1-1 24/7 while the bigger picture shows they’ve lost just one of their last 21 matches on the road; but the defeat prior to that was a 2-0 loss at Wednesday’s hosts, Portimonense, back in January of 2019.
