Portugal 2º Liga Vitalis

[Filixlion]

Portimonense - Gondomar
Portimonense has another proof of fire to overcome. Portimão team is in great shape at the moment, comes from 2 consecutive wins and wishes to get out from relegation zone. This team is highly motavited and with new coach Victor Pontes and new players that they Bought in winter market the team is more balanced and results began to appear.
Regarding gondomar, comes from a 4-0 win against Santa-Clara, but this team is clearly in bad moment, as the latest results show losing 2-3 at home today.
Gondomar has 2 absences for injury in this match, Vargas and Jeremiah.
Maybe is because of that win, the odds for portimão are so high at the moment, in my opinion this is a huge mistake by bookies.

Pick: 5/10 @Portimonense 2.45 Unibet

Gondomar - Fátima

Here is a match between two teams in need for points especially Fatima, which is the red light of this league. Visitors do not win in 9 straigt games and will not sum points in 4, that led the team to an extremely uncomfortable position in the table.

Right now the players are starting to feel the pressure of having to win matches and we know that this creates negative effects on the teams in terms of morale and motivation, become more nervous in field. Moreover these players have not very experienced in this division and most of them up with the team last year in to 2ºleague Vitalis.

Regarding absences of players, coach of Fatima must move the starting 11 of the team, especially in its defense, because the defender Duarte Machado is suspended while Jorge Teixeira is in doubt for this game because is not in the best physical condition.

Gondomar comes from a defeat at Portimão, but they have nothing to worry about, because team of Portimão has improved his game in last matches. But in the last game in its stadium Gondomar won 4-0 to Santa Clara making a beautiful display.

So with the distance of 4 points of Fatima in the league table, Gondomar know that if they win this match, could be a giant step to them towards maintenance. And with the help of there best foward Bruno Severino in good shape leading the table for most goals scored in the league, i believe that in there field they can win to a weakened team of Fatima.

Trofense - Freamunde

The team of Trofa lives in state of euphoria at the moment and it is not case for less. Trofense is 1 st place in the table and has been playing well doing good exibicions, especially in its stadium where nobody yet achieve to win this season.

In 10 games made in their stadium, they count with 7 wins and 3 draws in total and only suffered 4 goals scored 11, which is a good mark for a team of this division always so balanced.

For this match the club expect to have full stadium and fans are expected to give support to the team towards 1st league ... women and children do not pay to watch the game soo the club are waiting for a good environment in there.

Trofense comes from 3 games without achieving win but they know that this game is very important to win the 3 points, because 2º in table (vizela) and 3 rd (Rio Ave) facing up this weekend, who knows if they may both lost points, and this team will improve distance to achieve there objectives to climb up to 1ºleague.

Regarding Freamunde they break a little its performance after a promising beginning of championship, with 2 straight wins. Comes from 1 defeat at home in front of Estoril last weekend and who likes estactistics they are the 3ºworst defense of 2ºleague Vitalis. In the last 4 games away have 2 draws and 2 losses.

Also have 2 defensive absences for this game against trofense, central defender Marcão is suspended, and left defender Miguel are injured and in process of recovery.

In short I believe that the team of Trofense will be make a nice display here, with the help of suporters and the environment in the stadium. They also know that a win in this match will give them an advantage in the table very important in there aspirations to climb up to 1ºdivision league.

Pick: 6/10 on Trofense @ 1.76 Sportingbet

Olhanense - Estoril

A big game this weekend is expected in Algarve between these two teams of Olhanense and Estoril. Home team comes from a defeat in Aveiro in front of Beira-Mar. In that game Olhanense made some defensive errors and eventually losing by 2-0. Now however i believe it will be different, because for this game defenders Marco Couto and Bruno Mestre that not played last week, will return to the team and coach Diamantino Miranda has now all squad available for this match.

Olhanense already took the fight to reach 1¦ league, players are also quite motivated for this game and don¦t want to miss out the opportunity to add 3 points versus an direct opponent to promotion. With only 1 point separate these two formations, Olhanense knows that winning on Sunday they exceed there opponent in the league table and can make an important step towards their objectives.

Estoril is doing the best season since they come to 2 nd league in 2004/05. It has 7 points more than in equal period of last season and are 8 games without losses. They have the best attack in the league with 36 goals, but consequently is also the 3 rd worst defense with 29 goals suffered.

This is to say that in its stadium, Estoril has little chance their opponents, but in away matches it¦s not the same, 13 goals scored against 14 and suffered a record of 3w 3t and 3D.

In short, this 2 formations are with all players available, soo I believe that the home factor here will be relevant, because normally the teams in this league have great difficultis to achieve away victories against opponents of equal value.


Pick: 4/10 on Olhanense (-0.25) @ 2.00 with 188bet

Vizela - Feirense

Vizela together with Trofense is one of the good suprises of this league Vitalis. In its stadium nobody beat them this season with 6V 3E 0D has a very good record at home, with 11 scored and only 4 goals suffer.
Given these numbers is not astonishment that they now fighting for promotion to the main step of Portuguese football, remains to continued to achieve good exhibitions made so far.

Last week they were defeated 1-0 by Rio Ave, other candidate to achieve promotion, a game that was balanced until the end, Rio AVe score a goal in the latest minutes.
Now playing in there stadium, Vizela will want to return quickly to wins to rise up in the table, into one of the two positions that give them access to 1¦ league promotion.

Feirense is in crisis, has changed coach during the week, after the departure of the previous coach Luis Miguel, the new coach Alvaro Magalhaes has said in an interview that his knowledge of the players of Feirense is low.

Visiting team comes from a defeat last week at home, in front of Gil Vicente and at this time the confidence of the players is not the best at the moment. The main objective of the new coach is now trying to motivate their players for this game, since in tactics he can change little with just 2 or 3 days of training.

In short, I believe a home victory here for Vizela, which is a pair of Gil Vicente the only teams without losses in its stadium, with a much greater motivation for his side i believe that Vizela do not have much difficultys to win this fragile team of Feirense.

Gil Vicente - Gondomar

Gil Vicente comes from a motivating result last week against Feirense, which won by 1-0. Team of Barcelos don¦t have defeats in league Vitalis for 11 straight games, which currently leads them to feel enormous levels of confidence and motivation. In its stadium, Gil and Vizela, are only the 2 squads in this league, that still no opponent achive wins there this season.

During the week, Gil Vicente was playing in Dragon Stadium against Porto for the cup match, despite having lost by 1-0, this team made a good game, and in the last minutes they put national champion Porto defending the result. Porto has to thank the good exhibition of there keeper Nuno, if not Gil Vicente could have taken the game for extension.

Now playing against a team of his championship, will want to return to victories and with almost every players available, and with this squad in sutch good form, it will be difficult to Gondomar wins this game. Gil has only one absence for this game, the central defender Pedro Ribeiro.

Regarding Gondomar comes from a poor result of 1-1 against Fatima the last team in the league Vitalis, if they won that match now would being in a better position to safeguard the mantaince into this division.
Now will have to run to achieve better results, if not Gondomar could be "in bad sheets", a team that is going through a bad moment, with some lack of confidence at the present.
For this game already can count on the return of fowards Vargas and Jeremiah, but in turn are deprived of two players at the same sector, in medfield, which are the cases of Fernando Aguiar and JosÚ Alberto.

So I believe will be a game practically unique sense, where Gondomar try to peek out the counter-attack, but it will be difficult for them to be the first visitor team to achieve the win aganist this well-organized squad of Gil Vicente in there field, where still nobody wins this season.


Pick: 5/10 on Gil Vicente @ 1.96 with 188bet

Estoril - Beira-Mar

There's not much to say about this game, unless that the motivation and form of both teams at the moment are very different. Estoril is going through a good time, coach Tulipa has done a good job and now they are just 2 points behind the 2 first squads that provide access to 1 division, the main step of Portuguese football. Home team has the best attack in the competition with 38 goals scored, 23 of them at home, a very powerful squad who as no problems to score goals to any opponent. But sometimes they forget to defende better as a team with great penchant offensive, also suffers goals with some frequency. In the last week, they made a great result in olhanense, winning by 1-2 in the field of the opponent, leaving the team in a state of grace and with the motivation up. Without important absences to regret from this squad, i believe that Beira-Mar will not have an easy task if they want to leave this match with some points in the luggage. The visitor team has been very inconsistent throughout the season, the coach was be exchanged for another just a few weeks ago, but their football has improved little in my view, because it lacks some quality in there game, although they have some good players to have higher aspirations in this league Vitalis. With a comfortable position in the middle of the table at the moment, their goals for what remains of the season are none, so the highest percentage of motivation and desire to win the game are all for Estoril.

Pick: 4/10 on Home (-0.25) @ 1.93 Pinnacle Sports 09/Mar/2008 at 16:00 CET Portimonense - Gil Vicente Complicated game here for the team of barcelos, because this squad of PortimÒo led by coach Victor Pontes is going through a good time, which has meant them to left up some places in league table. No doubt that this team of portimonense, is making good results lately, as the numbers shown, winning past week Fatima team for 0-3. But attention! Gil Vicente still has a word to say, to fight for the 2 promotion places. After an excellent recovery in the game in front of Gondomar, which losing by 3-1, endend the game winning by 4-3, this team comes to this game very motivated, waiting for some bad results from the squads to the top of the board. With just 3 points behing of 2 position team, they are a series candidates to fight to the end for the promotion. Gil are in great form, this team is extremely quick and danger in counter-attack, as some i have the oportunity to see in the game against Porto for the Portuguese cup. As to absences of players, Portimonense has its striker Vouho injured and may not play this match is a seriuos blow to considering because in the latest 4 games he scored 3 goals for his team. As for Gil Vicente only lies a question on defence, Paulo Arantes not yet known whether recover from an injury suffered in the adductor. In short I believe that for this game, there can only be one winner Gil Vicente, who is better prepared and has more experience players to attack the last games of the season.

Hi Filixlion,
I would also like to say great write ups!
I was looking at the Estoril game and was looking at the over 2.5 goals at 2.02 with Betfair. It looks like Estoril could get 2 but do you think Beira Mar can score?

Vizela-Portimonense

Important game for Vizela. This team has been one big suprise in this league Vitalis. Without losses in its field, and with only 4 goals suffered in there stadium is the best defence of the championship with 13 goals suffered in total. Being just 1 point distance of the 2 place and two of the 1¦ place, vizela needs to win if want to continue to fight for promotion to 1 Division.

Players are very motivated with the last team performances and they want to continued to show that they have serious intentions to fight until the end to promotion that could be historic for this small club.

Portimonense are making good results in last games, coach Victor Pontes brought a new soul to this team that was doomed to the climb and is now in a position a little more safe in the table, knowing that all points count for the fight for maintenance in this league.

Soo motivacion are all for home team, nowing that they are forbidden to lose points in his field, put at risk its fight for promotion that this players want so bad...

Pick: Vizela 1.73 @ 6/10 188bet
