Portimonense vs Victoria Guimaraes
Portugal – Liga Portugal
Date: Monday, 17 January 2022
Kick-off at 19:15 UK / 20:15 CET
Venue: Estadio Muncipal de Portimao.
Portimonense host Victoria Guimaraes on Monday in Liga Portugal as the two teams take on each other in the 18th round of the competition.
The visitors head into this clash from the 8th position in the league following a cold form for three games in which they failed to find three points. They have a total of 23 points from 17 games out of which they won 6, drew 5 and lost 6.
While the hosts sits 7th position in the table following a couple of lost games. Before entering into this tie, they have 24 points from 17 games. They won 7, drew 3 and lost 7 of those games.
Portimonense will come into the match after a 1-2 lose against Maritimo at home. Fabricio scored a penalty to evade a clean sheet but that wasn’t enough to prevent the defeat.
The stats tell the story, and Portimonense have been scored against in 5 of their last 10 home matches in all competitions, with opponent netting 15 goals in total.
At the back, they haven’t been too solid at all. Therefore, any goals they scored against will come back to their net easily. Their conceded goal numbers at home makes sense to the above statement.
While the away outfits are also having the similar form on road. They follows a 3-2 defeat against Gil Vicente on travels. They have also leaked goals along the way, shipping in 8 of the last 10 away matches.
Neither Portimonense nor Victoria Guimaraes will enter this match in the highest spirits and with their current form we expect them to cancel each other.
