The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Portimonense so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-9 (win-draw-lose). A depressing six defeats in a row for Portimonense in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Gil Vicente.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Vizela with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Pedrão was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Pedrão won 7 of 9 duels.

A 0-2 defeat away at Chaves before that.
