Yes, probably behind closed doors, it's normal for a training trip like this

99% certain they are being played behind closed doors, no spectators admitted

The team are staying in Barringtons near Vilamoura which is about 20 miles from Praia da Rocha. Portimao and Lagos are very close to where you are staying. Portimao are a 2nd division team in Portugal and Lagos a regional one. I am in Portugal at the minute and the weather is crap!

I was reading in a newspaper over the last few days, can't remember which one, that the games will be open to people to go and see. I think the clubs were charging about a tenner a head. Apparently they have had a lot of queries from Irish people that are going to be on holidays in the area at the time of the games. Also, on Sports Tonight on TV3 last night they had a reporter doing an on site report, it was the usual stuff, taking a look at the facilities the players will be using along with the stadium where the games will be played.
