Estoril - Portimonense betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.23, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Portimonense will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.50 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Estoril’s latest away game at Gil Vicente was an inconclusive stalemate which persisted throughout the runtime. Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, however, the 0:0 result isn’t too bad for Estoril.

Although the previous round didn’t end well for Portimonense, it can’t really be called a disappointment. It was a narrow 1:2 loss against vastly stronger opposition - Benfica. Considering the 7.00 odds Portimonense had to win, most spectators expected complete domination.

The first step Estoril 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.

Portimonense strung together 3 draws in their latest Primeira Liga away matches. While it could have gone much worse, they’ll hopefully be able to snag a more decisive result at PortimonenseS.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Estoril’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

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 bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Betsson sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.70, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
