Chaves - Portimonense predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Portimonense. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Portimonense is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

Chaves’s latest away game against Benfica 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.

Portimonense are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Sporting Braga. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 8.11 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Portimonense struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 3:5.

Chaves fans at Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira have seen a lot of concessions lately – 8 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Portimonense lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

There’s very little of the season left for the hosts to move up and out of the relegation zone. They have a shot at earning 3 in this showdown, which just might be the kind of morale boost they need.

A good part of the season is already behind us, and Portimonense are hovering just above the relegation zone as the number 16th team in the standings. They have precious little time to earn a better placement, and Chaves are likely to make their task even harder.

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

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.50 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
