In this week 13 match, on Sun Nov 13th, Portimonense plays host to Sporting Braga in a meeting of these two Primeira Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, a perfect day for football. Portimonense sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Gil Vicente. Mohamed Diaby struck first for Portimonense in the 12th minute on a feed from Paulo Estrela Moreira Alves, then in the 27th minute, Bilel Aouacheria sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Fran Navarro. Portimonense is looking for direction having 5 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 3rd placed Sporting Braga, recorded a 0-1 loss against Casa Pia. Rafael Martins struck first for Casa Pia in the 23rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sporting Braga couldn’t manage to score, and Casa Pia took the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Sporting Braga should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Sporting Braga won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Vitor Manuel Carvalho Oliveira and Almoatasembellah Ali Mohamed are the top scorers for Sporting Braga in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Portimonense hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Welinton Junior and Ricardo Matos, and they each have 1 goal.
