Famalicao vs Portimonense Prediction

Famalicao vs Portimonense prediction comes ahead of the Portuguese Primeira Liga fixture between Famalicao and Portimonense at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Tuesday. Let’s take a look at the match preview as we try to provide the best betting tips and correct score prediction for this tie.

Famalicao vs Portimonense Betting Tips

Famalicao sit just 5 points away from the Europa League qualification spot. With Braga (5th) and Rio Ave (7th) battling it out later in the same day, Famalicao would be hoping to close in within 2 points of Braga, hoping that their Portuguese rivals lose to Rio Ave on Tuesday. On the other hand, Portimonense have some other problems to deal with. The relegation spot club is 4 points behind Maritimo and are desperate to win a few games to stay afloat in the Portuguese first division.

Both the teams face each other on the backs of amazing form. While Famalicao are undefeated in their last 6 games, Portimonense too have not lost in their last 4 games despite being in the bottom two in the league. An interesting point to note is that even though there has been a big gap between the quality of these two sides this season, it’s the inferior side which holds the better head-to-head record.

Portimonense have actually won 3 of their last 5 games against Famalicao, and are on a 4 game unbeaten run against their Tuesday’s hosts. But an important point remains that due to Portimonense facing a lot of promotion-relegation drama in the last few years, the timelines when these two sides have met is quite distorted and so the head-to-head statistics do not give the correct reflection of which is the better side amongst them.

Coming to their performance and tactics this season, Famalicao are experts in attacking their opposition on the counter. Whereas, Portimonense have conceded the majority of their goals this season by succumbing to counter-attacks. Aerial duels might be the only area where Portimonense trump their hosts, so the away side will have to capitalize on every set-piece they get in the opposition half on Tuesday.

Famalicao vs Portimonense Correct Score Predictions

Famalicao are just too good for Portimonense currently. But the visitors’ recent form might have given them the required boost to give Famalicao a tough time. This should be a 2-1 win for the home side.
