"However, last seen putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a routine 4-1 drumming at the hands of Pacos Ferreira, Tiago Fernandes' camp have once again shown some glaring inconsistencies. Watching their Taco de Portugal adventure come to an abrupt end thanks to a 2-1 loss at home against Arouca earlier in the month, the former Sporting Lisbon coach has has seen his squad muster just a sole Liga 2 victory since the end of August."
"As for the visitors, flying out of the traps since opening up the new campaign and breaking plenty of records, Torreense are enjoying what has become a sensational purple patch. Securing consecutive 3-2 victories against Oliveirense and Porto's B-team on either side of October's international break, Tulipa's side now have their sights firmly set on skyrocketing their way into the automatic promotion spots. In fact, the Torres Vedras-based outfit have won each of their previous three appearances across all competitions."
Portimonense have shown defensive weakness and inconsistency, conceding heavily and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their first 10 appearances across competitions. The side suffered a 4-1 defeat to Pacos Ferreira and were eliminated from the Taça de Portugal after a 2-1 home loss to Arouca, with only one Liga 2 victory since late August. Torreense are in excellent form, recording three consecutive wins and back-to-back 3-2 victories either side of the international break. Torreense have lost just once in nine matches and are pushing for automatic promotion, creating an expectation of goals at both ends.
