Penafiel

WDDLLL 📉

Penafiel will be hoping for a better result after the 3-2 LigaPro losing effort in their last game against Porto B.

The only player to score from Penafiel was Gabriel Barbosa (69', 98'). Leonardo Vonić (46') and Felipe Silva (52') scored for Porto B.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Penafiel have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Penafiel have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 10 goals in the process. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, though.

Looking at their past form shows that Penafiel:

• have not been beaten in the league by Portimonense in their last 2 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 3 matches in the league.

Portimonense

WWLWLL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against União Torreense in LigaPro competition, Portimonense will be aiming to make amends here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Portimonense was João Neto (100'). Manuel Pozo (81') and Ethyan González (93') scored for União Torreense.

The stats tell the story, and Portimonense have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 8 goals in total. In defence, Portimonense have clearly had some problems.

A look at their previous results shows us that Portimonense:

• have not beaten Penafiel when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 2 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels stretching back to 10/03/2002, neither club has come out on top overall with Penafiel winning 2 of those games, Portimonense 2 and 2 being drawn in normal time.

An aggregate of 18 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 9 for Rubro-Negros and 9 being from Portimonense. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

The previous league encounter featuring the two was LigaPro match day 6 on 28/09/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Portimonense 0-2 Penafiel.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Portimonense are dangerous enough to put a goal past this Penafiel outfit, although it may not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our selection here is for a narrow 2-1 winning margin for Penafiel at the end of the match. Should be an interesting one.
