Portimão manager João Bastos’ immediate future hangs in the balance following his team’s latest defeat at Sporting Covilhã.
The Algarveans never recovered from an early Dani Matos strike and were beaten 2-0. Although bottom of the second tier Liga Orangina, only six points separate 15 of the 16 teams fighting for promotion and the club’s prospects will depend on the next two successive home games, the first of which will see fellow strugglers Arouca arrive in Portimao on Sunday.
