In a weekend match in week 5, on Sun Sep 4th, Famalicão will travel to Portimão to battle Portimonense in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Primeira Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Portimonense sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Marítimo. Welinton Junior struck first for Portimonense in the 43rd minute on a feed from Fahd Moufi, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Marítimo couldn’t manage to score, and Portimonense took the shutout win. Portimonense is looking for direction having 3 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while famalicão sits at 15th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Santa Clara. Zaydou Youssouf struck first for Famalicão in the 20th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Santa Clara was frustrated by Famalicão’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Famalicão ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Portimonense won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Simon Banza has been the most prolific scorer on Famalicão in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Portimonense is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Y. Cariello Ribeiro and Welinton Junior each having 2 goals in their last 5.
