Portimonense vs Farense Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal

Prediction published on 12/01/2024, 06:34  by Sridhar in Liga Portugal Predictions

The relegation-threatened Portimonense will look for a change of fortunes when they face a tricky home game against Farense. This matchday 17 of Liga Portugal will be played at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão on Friday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 16th in the standings with 15 points while the visitors are 7th with 21 points. Portimonense start this round in the relegation play-off spot, although they are level on points with two other teams. With Vizela right behind them and only two points adrift, anything less than a win here could drag them into the outright relegation spots. Four defeats out of their last five league games including three in a row doesn’t inspire confidence as the hosts seek some answers. One ray of hope is their recent home form as Portimonense have won three and drawn one of their last five home league games.

Farense come into this match on the back of a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente. That was a much-needed victory, as the visitors failed to win any of their last four league games – two draws and losses in a sequence. Yet, four wins and three draws from their last nine league games suggest this is a side that can make it tough for any side on their day. In fact, they have won two and drawn one of their last four away league games, suggesting they will fancy their chances of getting points on this trip.
