For the fourth consecutive season, Paulo Sérgio will manage Portimonense SC, which gives stability to the team and the levels of confidence needed to beat the drop. The Algarveans have kept almost all of their crucial players and are expected to enter the new season on the right foot. Boavista, on the other hand, are dealing with some internal issues. That might not be reflected on the pitch yet, but the 'Axadrezados' could struggle throughout the season if they don't make some changes. Keeping Petit as their head coach, however, is good news. Portimonense's wonderful results during pre-season should be extended to their season opener and a home win is expected on Sunday. 2:0
