Santa Clara - Paços de Ferreira betting tips and odds

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 2.70. Santa Clara will indeed find it very hard to beat Paços de Ferreira here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

The 2.90 away win betting odds indicate that Paços de Ferreira 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.

The top online bookmakers didn’t give Santa Clara much of a shot at winning their previous away match against Gil Vicente – and they were right. Still, they maintained an even score until the second half and only lost by a 1-goal difference (1:0). This wasn’t a terrible performance considering the 3.70 odds on an away win at kick-off.

Paços de Ferreira went into their previous match against Vitória Guimarães as clear underdogs despite the home-field advantage. As such, the tie score during half-time was a bit of a surprise – let alone the narrow 2:1 victory Paços de Ferreira bagged in the end.

Santa Clara’s previous two matches were quite uneventful, all things considered. They both featured only one goal – or no goals at all.

Paços de Ferreira are 5 points behind a Champions League qualification spot. It’s still too early in the season for the teams to be truly settled in their position, though. Moving both upwards and downwards are quite possible for Santa Clara, but winning at Paços de Ferreira would be a great step in the right direction.

With a loss to Paços de Ferreira on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Primeira Liga match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

A Double Chance on Away or Draw is likely the best move here. It’s definitely on the safe side with some minor risks, but these two are the most likely outcomes of the showdown this Saturday.
