Portimonense Preview – Can Portimonense use second chance?
Although they finished last season’s Primeira Liga second from bottom and in the relegation zone, Monday’s hosts, Portimonense, were granted a reprieve from the drop as third from bottom outfit, Vitoria Setubal, were relegated instead due to financial reasons.
Portimonense will therefore be looking to make the most of their second chance this season in the Portuguese top flight and although they endured a rough patch of results from early December through to early March (which saw the hosts fail to win any of their 12 matches during this period), things did improve towards the latter stage of the season.
The hosts lost just three of their subsequent 10 league matches thereafter and managed to pick up five wins during this improved period of results while on home turf, Portimonense lost just one of their final eight matches of last term.
Pacos Ferreira Preview – Can Pacos Ferreira finish top half?
Monday night’s visitors, Pacos Ferreira, finished last season in 13th place on the Primeira Liga ladder but they more or less held their own and gained results when it mattered, and they too finished last season in reasonably good shape.
Pacos Ferreira lost just two of their final eight matches overall in the Portuguese top flight which were no disgrace, losing at home to Porto and Sporting Braga, who both finished in the top three of the Primeira Liga last term, while four wins during this period helped keep the visitors out of trouble.
The visitors also finished last season in good shape on the road too as they lost just one of their final seven matches on their travels and collecting wins at Desportivo Aves, Rio Ave, Tondela and Vitoria Setubal along the way.
