Portimonense, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Famalicão will not have sat easily with the Portimonense squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Famalicão's tally of 21 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They are showing great consistency at The Estadio Municipal de Portimão in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Portimonense camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Sporting CP, Recent FormSporting CP have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Estoril in their previous league match. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 3 shots on goal.
Rúben Amorim will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 5 goals during those same matches. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sporting CP, Pedro Gonçalves will be looking to add more goals against Portimonense in this match.
Portimonense will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sporting CP, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
Sportinguistas will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Portimonense, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 13 meetings between the two. Sporting CP have a decent scoring record against Portimonense in recent times, having hit the back of the net 14 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
