Portimonense form and stats
Things could have gone better for Portimonense in their Primeira Liga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Portimonense might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Santa Clara proved too strong as Portimonense slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Municipal de Portimão. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tondela wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Portimonense have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
