Portimonense form and stats

3 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Portimonense playing as the away team in the Liga Portugal this season. Portimonense has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Portimonense have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 325 minutes ago. Luquinha was the goal scorer.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Portimonense, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Arouca (placed 6th). Portimonense lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Portimonense goalkeeper Nakamura could take pride in a terrific day at work vs Arouca, but even with making eight saves the defeat could not be avoided. Klismahn got a match rating of 6.84 in that game, top player of the team. Klismahn dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Santa Clara.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Portimonense in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Portimonense, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Portimonense as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Portimonense struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
