Estoril - Porto predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 6.36 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Estoril to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

The most likely outcome of this match is Porto walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

An away win from the last Primeira Liga round would have been a proper surprise for Estoril supporters. Despite the unfavourable betting odds (4.16) Estoril were leading the way by the halftime mark. However, they let a potentially big win split through their fingers having to settle for a Arouca draw.

Porto’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against AVS by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.25 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

Estoril have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Primeira Liga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on Porto’s previous performance. None of their 5 most recent Primeira Liga matches featured more than 2 goals.

Porto travel to Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota as hot favourites to earn three points. Online bookmakers have them priced at 1.53 and they are widely expected to add to their current tally of 53 points. A win here would be of great help in their attempt to get out of the Europa League spot and join the Champions League run.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Porto decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

Before assuming the favoured visitors will win, keep in mind that their lineup has been altered due to several injuries. Marko Grujić, Martim Moreira Moutinho Fernandes, Vasco Cardoso Sousa will all be missing for various reasons, leaving the coach with a shorter lineup than usual.

With the 1.53 on an Away Win at William Hill, it’s an easy choice to make. They have a clear upper hand, which means this bet is as safe as they come.
