Porto - AVS predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

AVS are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Porto.

Porto missed out on locking down 3 points in their previous Primeira Liga matchup, which they played as visitors. Predictions for the game were fairly hopeful, but they found themselves trailing behind their opponents Sporting Braga at halftime. They never managed to recover, either.

AVS’s most recent Primeira Liga appearance was in a home game, and it did not go their way. They went into the bout as the underdogs and lost largely due to a tiebreaker in the second half

The previous two Primeira Liga clashes AVS played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

The home team are number 3rd in the standings, so the road to a Europa League qualification seems set. That said, they have a good shot at earning 3 points on Saturday, so a better placement is still on the table.

The last time these two teams met Porto managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Marko Grujić, Martim Moreira Moutinho Fernandes, Vasco Cardoso Sousa will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.01.
