In this 8th week match, on Saturday Oct 1st, Vizela plays host to Portimonense in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Primeira Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 15th placed Vizela is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Sporting Braga. Carvalho Oliveira struck first for Sporting Braga in the 83rd minute, then Ricardo Horta added another in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time In the end, Vizela couldn’t muster any offence and Sporting Braga ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, 4th placed Portimonense, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Chaves. Moreira Alves struck first for Portimonense in the 19th minute on a penalty shot, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Chaves couldn’t muster any offence and Portimonense ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Portimonense should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws apiece.
Welinton Junior has been the most effective weapon for Portimonense lately. The Brazilian attacker has netted two goals in his last 5 matches. Kevin Zohi and Anderson are the top scorers for Vizela in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
