Santa Clara - Estoril betting tips and odds

Though Santa Clara are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Estoril will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.25 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Santa Clara showed some character in their previous Primeira Liga outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Santa Clara kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Chaves draw.

Estoril lost their previous home game against Benfica with a considerably high 1:5 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

Santa Clara will likely want to shake things up offensively after lukewarm results in the previous few matches. Outcome aside, both of their latest two away games ended with 1 or 0 goals in total.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Primeira Liga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Santa Clara won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

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 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 1.65.
