Belenenses - Porto betting tips and odds

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Belenenses can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Porto in this match.

Priced at very short odds of 1.21, and away win seems the most logical outcome here. Belenenses may be hoping to pull off a draw or surprise win, but both of these are longshots.

Belenenses’s latest away game against Famalicão ended in a narrow 1:0 loss for them, though it can hardly be called a disaster. They were up against a far stronger opponent but managed to keep the score even in the first half. Either way, a concession in the late game sent them home with no points.

The previous round had a lot of ups and downs for Porto. They started out as favourites against Estoril, stumbled in the first half, yet finished the game with a 2:3 lead. While the away victory is welcome, fans are hoping for more consistency.

Belenenses’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 9 times, which is not a great look.

Porto and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Primeira Liga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Porto won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Sunday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
