Portimonense Preview – Can Portimonense claw their way to safety?
Monday’s hosts, Portimonense, have it all to do as they find themselves sitting second from bottom in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and firmly ensconced in the relegation zone as they seek to reduce the gap between themselves and third from bottom club, Pacos Ferreira.
Portimonense are seven points adrift of Pacos prior to this crucial Monday night clash against fellow strugglers, Maritimo, but there’s a glimmer of hope for the hosts as they’ve picked up five points from their three league matches after the lockdown was lifted.
A 1-0 home win over Gil Vicente was followed by back-to-back draws with Benfica and Santa Clara, while losing just one of their last nine matches at home; however, the draw has featured in no fewer than six of these nine matches and 9 of Portimonense’s 13 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Maritimo Preview – Can Maritimo build on recent win?
Fifth from bottom side, Maritimo, hold an important seven-point cushion above their Monday night’s hosts thanks to their recent 2-1 home win against Gil Vicente which has helped keep Maritimo’s heads above water for the time being.
However, prior to this much-needed win, Maritimo had endured a tricky five-match sequence without a win in the Primeira Liga which consisted of four defeats and a draw with the defeats being incurred against Belenenses, Sporting Braga, Moreirense and Porto, while results away from home have been even worse.
The visitors have failed to win any of their last six matches on their travels amidst a poor away record of 2-4-7 6/17 as Maritimo have found goals hard to come by on their travels – indeed, Maritimo have failed to score in 8 of their 13 away matches to date which has contributed to 10 of Maritimo’s 13 away matches also resulting in under 2.5 goals.
