Portimonense (home)
- Portimonense have won only one of their last nine home matches in Liga Segunda (D4, L4).
- Portimonense have been the more entertaining team to watch so far this season, while Feirense are the more solid and efficient side.
- Fernandes’ men have been a little shaky at home, failing to beat Feirense in their past two meetings at Estadio Municipal de Portimao, and earning only one win, four draws and four defeats from nine home fixtures this term.
Feirense (away)
- Feirense’s recent domination of this head-to-head makes them a little more likely to win on Sunday and their away record is balanced, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from 9 road games.
- Feirense are eighth in Liga Segunda with 24 points from 18 games, while Portimonense are 12th with 22 from the same number of matches.
- Feirense have conceded 14 goals in nine away games in Liga Segunda at an average of 1.56 per game and should be able to keep Portimonense’s goals in the ‘single’ category on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
Feirense have won both of their previous two games against Portimonense, including a 4-1 home victory five months ago.
Key Players
The two different styles should make for an interesting match-up on Sunday with Tiago Fernandes’ men pressing the ball hard and recovering it in wide areas with their wing-backs pushing on to provide width, while Ricardo Costa’s men have been much more compact and structured.
