Portimonense Team News
Portimonense played the last three matches in the league against teams from the top 5: Casa Pie, Braga, and Benfica. All three defeats were expected, and that’s what happened. We cannot blame the players of the home team, whose quality could not match any of the mentioned teams, but that unpleasant period has finally passed, and they will be followed by a series of matches against much easier teams.
Although the home team has 7 points more than the first team in the danger zone, the fight for survival is far from over. Mainly because the teams from the danger zone are slowly starting to “wake up,” so every point won will be very important for Portimonense.
Another motive to show aggressiveness is that they have not won at home in the last 4 matches. And they won’t have a better chance to end that negative streak than the duel with Santa Clara.
Santa Clara Team News
A poor placement in the table is quite expected when a team scores only 2 goals in 7 away games. Thanks to a very poor away performance, Santa Clara welcomes this match in the 15th position in the table. The visitors have only one point advantage over Gil Vicente, who is in the relegation zone.
After returning from vacation, Santa Clara lost 1:0 to Gil Vicente and 4:0 to Braga, and the situation suddenly became critical. In both matches, the Santa Clara players seemed clueless on the field, and unless something drastically changes, there is a very high chance that we will not see this team in the elite ranks of Portuguese football next season.
Although the guests may not be in a situation where they can “threaten” the home team, what we expect from them in this match is effort, desire, and commitment. Even if they show just one of these three things, they will have a chance to break the streak of negative results.

Portimonense vs Santa Clara Prediction
- Although the home team is in a slightly better position, the real difference in quality between these two teams is not too great.
- So far, experience has shown that duels between teams of similar quality, for which the fight for survival is the greatest range, can often be very dynamic.
- In this match, Santa Clara will have to desperately “chase” points, which means that they will not be allowed to focus on defense but will have to be more offensively oriented. With that in mind, the home team will certainly have plenty of opportunities to threaten the visitors’ goalkeeper.
- Although bookmakers favor Portimonense, we will avoid predicting the winner of the match because, in these situations, teams like Santa Clara can find the necessary strength and motivation.
- As we believe that both teams will “go” for all three points, we hope for a faster match rhythm that should “bring” at least a few goals.
