11/02/2023 11:30 pm
Fresh off the back of claiming their first win since the turn of the year, Portimonense travel to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques to face Vitoria de Guimaraes in round 20 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
The hosts will head into the weekend seeking to get one over their visitors, having failed to win any of the last four meetings between the teams since December 2020.
Vitoria Guimaraes picked up consecutive league wins for the first time since October as they narrowly beat Estoril Praia 1-0 at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota last Saturday.
That followed a 2-1 victory over Chaves on January 30 when Tiago Silva and Safira scored to help Vitoria Guimaraes end a run of eight straight matches without a win.
With 30 points from 19 matches, Vitoria Guimaraes are currently sixth in the Primeira Liga standings, level on points with fifth-placed Casa Pia in the final Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Portimonense finally gave their fans something to cheer about when they claimed a last-gasp 1-0 victory over Pacos de Ferreira at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao on Monday.
In a game where Maracas received his marching orders, newly-signed midfielder Mauricio announced his arrival in fashion as he came off the bench to score the match-winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
Prior to that, Portimonense were on a six-game winless run across all competitions, claiming one draw and losing five matches since a 2-0 victory over Segunda Liga side Covilha in Group E of the Taca da Liga on November 27.
Paulo Sergio’s side have now picked up seven wins, two draws and lost 10 of their 19 matches to collect 23 points and sit 11th in the Primeira Liga table, but could potentially rise to eighth place with a win this weekend.
