Portimonense form and stats
There's been little loot from Portimonense's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 13 away games in the Primeira Liga. Portimonense only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Portimonense have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Tondela game. Portimonense are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Famalicao fixture.
Portimonense lost away at Sporting Braga (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Vitoria Setubal.
It's a bit worrying for Portimonense that their goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda made six saves in the Sporting Braga game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Portimonense as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. Portimonense have conceded 22 goals in these games.
