Estrela Amadora - Chaves predictions

Estrela Amadora might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Chaves are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

At 3.86 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Chaves are well aware of it themselves.

Estrela Amadora’s previous Primeira Liga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Porto . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 17.34. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

The previous Primeira Liga match Chaves played was at home, and it was a very close showdown against Boavista. The two teams struggled to gain a clear lead for most of the game’s runtime. Despite relatively unfavourable betting odds, though, the final outcome was a 2:1 home win.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Estádio José Gomes this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Placed at 15th in the current Primeira Liga standings, the hosts are struggling to stay out of the relegation zone. Winning the match on Saturday will be a great step towards improving the overall impression they left this season.

Though they’re considered to be the clear underdogs in this game, Chaves should have clear motivation to reach their goals. They’re stuck in the relegation zone as we enter round 23, and they’ll need to act quickly while there’s still time.

Estrela Amadora have had the chance to play against Chaves several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Primeira Liga. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Estrela Amadora are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.44 with 1xbet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
