Santa Clara - Marítimo betting tips and odds

Santa Clara might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Marítimo are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The 3.50 away win betting odds indicate that Marítimo are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Santa Clara are coming on the back of an away draw (1:1) in the previous round against Arouca . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Santa Clara considering the 2.50 odds on them.

Marítimo performed admirably in their previous Primeira Liga match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Boavista.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Primeira Liga clash tells a different story. Santa Clara lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

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.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.80. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
