December 18th features a match where Portimonense will host Arouca at Estádio Municipal De Portimão in a Primeira Liga match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 6th placed Portimonense is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Moreirense. Aylton Boa Morte scored the first goal for Portimonense in the 87th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Moreirense couldn’t muster any offence and Portimonense ran away with the shutout win. Portimonense should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 11th placed Arouca, recorded a 1-4 loss against Vizela. Fabio Samuel Amorim Silva struck first for Vizela in the 9th minute on a feed from Hugues Evrard Zagbayou, then Alvarado Jr. added another on an own goal in the 16th minute.
