Portimonense vs Vizela Prediction & Match Preview

Paulo Sergio is set on steering Portimonense back on course at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao after their disappointing 4-0 loss to Benfica on Sunday.

Portimonense enters this match in a slump, having lost 7 of their last 10 matches, indicating a challenging period for the team. Vizela, their upcoming opponents, also approach this encounter with shaky form, having lost 6 of their last 10 games.

The recent Liga match against Benfica was one to forget for Portimonense, as defensive lapses were exploited, leading to a 4-0 defeat. Paulo Sergio is determined to address these defensive vulnerabilities and reorganize his team for the upcoming clash against Vizela.

Both Portimonense and Vizela are not in excellent form and lack positive momentum based on their recent results in the last 10 games across all competitions. This suggests that both teams are facing challenges and will be eager to secure a turnaround in their fortunes in the upcoming match.

Recent Meetings

In the initial encounter of the 2023/24 season at Estadio do Vizela, a determined Portimonense secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Vizela with a brace from Carlinhos and a goal from Edmundo Carrillo.

Despite this win, Portimonense’s recent record against Vizela has not been particularly strong, as they have managed to win only 1 of the last 5 games between them across all competitions.

Moreover, in the recent history of their matchups, the trend has been towards relatively low-scoring games. Specifically, in 4 out of the last 5 matches between Portimonense and Vizela, the total goals scored remained under 3.5.

As they prepare to face each other again, these statistics provide insights into the competitive nature of their contests and the likelihood of a match with fewer goals.

Portimonense vs Vizela Prediction

The forthcoming Liga clash between these teams is expected to be closely contested, with both sides entering the tie in identical forms. However, a fair assessment suggests that Vizela holds a slight advantage and can be considered as slim favorites.

Vizela has demonstrated superiority in recent encounters, securing 2 wins in the last 3 matches against the visitors. This dominance contributes to their favorable standing in this fixture.

The recommended betting option for this game is to go with under 2.5 goals at full-time. This choice is supported by the recent trend, with 4 out of the last 5 games pointing towards a likelihood of a low-scoring outcome in this fixture.

In terms of predicting the match winner, the preference is for Vizela. This decision is influenced by their strong track record and dominance in recent matchups against the opposition, suggesting they have a good chance of securing a positive result.
