THE PREDICTION
Pacos de Ferreira’s most recent outing was a 2-1 defeat away to out of form Casa Pia last weekend. The home team have lost three of their last four matches and begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting rock-bottom in the Primeira Liga. They now face a Santa Clara side that are the other team in the bottom two and the automatic relegation places. The visitors were comfortably beaten by Vitoria last weekend, making it four successive defeats and they are winless in their last 14 matches in all competitions. Regardless of the match result, this is expected to be a low-scoring encounter between two poor sides.
