On the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Estrela Amadora, Portimonense manager Paulo Sérgio will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  During that encounter they had 64% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 11 shots on goal.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 played at The Estadio Municipal de Portimão this season.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.

Vitória Guimarães will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Benfica last time out.  In that game they had 39% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Benfica who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.  

André Silva will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Vitória Guimarães.
