Lusitania’s league campaign has been a little bit flat
Lusitania FC come into this fixture off a morale-boosting 2-1 away win over FC Porto B and with a little momentum to carry into this game against Portimonense. Our Lusitania FC vs Portimonense prediction sees Lusitania as the favorites with the bookmakers at 1.99, with Portimonense outsiders at 3.67 and the draw coming in at 3.35.
Pedro Miguel’s side have been in indifferent form over the last 5 games in all competitions, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2, but they have only lost one of their 6 home league matches this season, drawing 5 of those. This Lusitania FC vs Portimonense preview highlights how Lusitania play in a compact 4-4-2 with players disciplined in terms of their positions and tasks. They are a defensive side that presses with low-to-medium intensity, setting up well and preferring to counterattack with numbers on the break, often scoring from set-pieces.
Portimonense are in a slump and have lost their last 2 matches in a row, the last being a home defeat to FC Porto B and a loss to Maritimo before that. Tiago Fernandes’ side have lost 4 of their last 5 games in the league, drawing just 1. The Lusitania FC vs Portimonense prediction also considers Portimonense as a high-pressing side that like to play on the front foot, playing a possession-based game with wing-backs that can push wide and pull back, and creating their attacks from width.
Portimonense’s wing-backs can unlock the game
The clash between Portimonense’s attack and width, and Lusitania’s compact block and set-piece emphasis should be fascinating in this fixture. Neither team is in great form and both teams to score at 1.92 looks good to us here as the hosts are by far the most defensively solid team in the division, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per home game (7 in total) while Portimonense are in the midst of a slump.
Dylan Collard has 4 goals in 12 Liga Segunda appearances and can be an outlet for Lusitania FC, and they should be able to create enough chances to score in front of their fans on Sunday. Tamble Monteiro is Portimonense’s danger man with 7 goals in 12 league games, he’s easily the team’s most prolific attacker and he carries the vast majority of their attacking onus.
When considering Lusitania FC vs Portimonense betting tips, Lusitania are the favourites and Portimonense are in a bad patch, so we’re siding with the hosts to edge this game, however the visitors will surely be on the attack and that should keep things interesting.
