Santa Clara - Chaves betting tips and odds

Santa Clara have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.75 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

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

Santa Clara’s latest performance against Porto ended in a narrow 2:1 defeat for them. Top betting predictions overwhelmingly agreed that the match wouldn’t go their way, considering the very difficult matchup and home-field disadvantage. They were already trailing behind at half-time, which lead to a 2:1 away loss.

Chaves supporters didn’t have a lot of hope that the team will win against Benfica in the previous round, not even with home-field advantage and an indecisive first half. Despite all the unfavourable Primeira Liga betting predictions, though, they pulled ahead in the second half and recorded a 1:0 win.

The first step Santa Clara need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Chaves are here after a set of rather low-scoring events. The past two matches both ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals betting market and this is something to be taken into consideration ahead of this fixture.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for Chaves because they are largely considered the stronger team.

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 1.61.
