Portimonense SC's wonderful run of form has nosedived in the opening matches of 2022. After losing at home to CS Marítimo, they were dumped out of the Portuguese Cup by second tier side CD Mafra. They've been leaky at the back, conceding nine goals in the last three matches. Vitória SC's run of dreadful performances were extended last time out as they were only able to react in the last minutes of the match against Gil Vicente, which they ended up losing by 3-2. They've failed to win in the last three matches. However, Portimonense SC were involved in cup action last Thursday and fatigue might be a factor that Vitória SC could take advantage of. 2:2
