Porto - Estrela Amadora predictions

Porto are seen as favourites to win this match against Estrela Amadora. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

Considering what they’re up against, Estrela Amadora can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 13.98 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Things unexpectedly went south for Porto last round, and they lost what can only be described as an extremely favourable matchup. They never managed to get the upper hand as the visitors, spending most of that match behind.

Pre-match betting odds for Estrela Amadora’s previous Primeira Liga outing were set at 3.95, meaning it could have ended either way. However, they ended up dominating their opponents Portimonense and decisively snagging a 3:0 HT/FT home win.

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for Porto. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

The hosts are just 7 points behind the best-placed teams in the league, so they’ll be going into this match highly motivated to secure a win. We’re getting into the second half of the season now, so not even favourable matchups such as this one can’t be taken lightly.

The 22 games Estrela Amadora played in their current Primeira Liga campaign left a lot to be desired, but at least they’ve managed to keep themselves out of the relegation zone for now. That said, most betting predictions see a loss at Porto as the most likely outcome.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Porto walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Estrela Amadora supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.62 odds offered at 888Sport.
