NextGOAL tip: Amarante (level) · 2 stars
Amarante and Portimonense SAD meet in the Portuguese second league, with the hosts bottom of the table on 5 points from 6 matches, while the visitors have 7 points from the same number of games. Neither side is on a long winning run, and both picked up a win in their most recent match. Amarante are unbeaten in their last two and at home have seen plenty of first-half goals, 6 from 9 matches, but their defending early in the second half remains a concern, as goals conceded between the 31st and 45th minute account for 32% of all they have let in. Portimonense SAD, meanwhile, struggle in attack, scoring just 4 goals from 6 matches, and their most recent away game ended goalless. The pattern of play should be tight, as both sides enjoy similar possession and create chances at a similar rate. If Amarante score first, they should be able to stick even more to their plan and force Portimonense to open up, which is exactly the situation the hosts thrive in.
