ALGARVE FOOTBALL - FIXTURES AND RESULTS

UPDATED 21 JAN

There will be a double-header at the Algarve Stadium - the finals of the 'Atlantic Cup' a midwinter break tournament for Russian and Scandinavian teams. See post below.

Rather bizarrely Farense B played another game at the Algarve Stadium a couple of weeks ago, while their first team unusually played on a Saturday but in the São Luis ground in the city centre!

All three Algarve Segunda Liga teams will be away on 7th / 8th February.

Farense B are also due to be away on 7th February so I guess that means no-one playing at the Algarve Stadium.

Imortal will be travelling to Estombar to meet the mighty Carvoeiro United.

Here are the complete Algarve League fixtures for Saturday 7th Feb

Odiáxere     v     Farense B     
Quarteira     v     Guia

hmmm should brondby and copenhagen end up meeting each other down there...then expect some serious trouble. they havent had a game for the last 10 years without massive clashes...last time some 450 fans were arrested up here in copenhagen. the hate between the 2 set of fans is massive....i shall be coming down to monitor the situation  ;-)

Based on my experience last year when Copenhagen won the Atlantic Cup, cant see any trouble occurring.

Segunda Liga

Portimonense 2 - 2 Maritimo B att 700. Portimonense stay 6th and four points off the promotion places.

Farense 0 - 5 União Madeira att 776. Looks like a bad hair day for Farense. An own goal conceded in the first minute, the player who did it sent off after 19 minutes, a second own goal conceded after 22 minutes and three more goals (this time from the other team's players) shipped in the second half.  As a consequence they drop to 17th.

Olhanense 0 - 0 Feirense attendance 422 and they stay 18th as the teams below them failed to win.

All three will be away next weekend.
