In a weekend match on Sat Mar 5th, in week 25, Benfica and Portimonense will play a match in Portimão in a clash of the Primeira Liga. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Portimonense recorded a 1-1 draw against Vizela. William Rocha struck first for Portimonense in the 17th minute on a feed from Lucas Fernandes, but Guilherme Schettine got the equalizer for Vizela in the 36th minute earning Vizela a comeback draw. Portimonense looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches, while benfica sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Vitória SC. Ramos struck first for Benfica in the 23rd minute on a feed from Moraes Junior, then Darwin Nuñez added another in the 37th minute on a feed from Gilberto Moraes Junior In the end, Vitória SC couldn’t muster any offence and Benfica ran away with the shutout win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Benfica should be reasonably happy with their performance.
Benfica and Portimonense last played eachother at the Estádio Do Sport Lisboa E Benfica on Oct 3rd. Portimonense was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Lucas Possignolo scored the first goal for Portimonense in the 66th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Benfica couldn’t manage to score, and Portimonense took the shutout win.
Benfica is fortunate enough to have Darwin Nuñez in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals. Iván Angulo and Welinton Junior are the top scorers for Portimonense in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
