Santa Clara - Boavista betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Boavista would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

No-one expected Santa Clara’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Santa Clara took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 0:2 away victory against Moreirense .

Boavista managed to secure a single point in their match against Paços de Ferreira in the previous round. Such an outcome is far from perfect, but they fared better than Paços de Ferreira who were seen as slightly stronger going in and were leading at half-time.

The last 3 times we saw Santa Clara play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

One way or another, Boavista’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Boavista carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Santa Clara as somewhat more likely to win.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

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 1.65.
