📰 Team News: Portimonense

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Portimonense boss Paulo Sérgio to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Carlinhos (Fitness) is out of contention.

It’s our opinion that Portimonense will probably use a 5-3-2 system for this game featuring Kosuke Nakamura, Fahd Moufi, Pedrão, Ji-su Park, Lucas, Filipe Relvas, Lucas Ventura, Mohamed Diaby, Mauricio, Yony González and Welinton Junior.

ℹ️ Team News: Vizela

Owing to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from, the Vizela boss Tulipa da Silva Cruz has no fitness worries at all coming into this match.

We’re of the thinking that Vizela seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup using Fabijan Buntic, Tomás Silva, Ivanildo Fernandes, Anderson, Kiki, Samu, Claudemir, R. Gregorio Guzzo, Nuno Moreira, Milutin Osmajic and Kiko Bondoso.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Vizela and Portimonense are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. We therefore see a very close game with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the match.
