Porto - Vitória Guimarães predictions

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

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Vitória Guimarães are given 8.67 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Considering the 9.83 price on them winning, Porto were expected to win the previous game at Estoril without too many issues. However, the first half ended inconclusively, and the hosting underdogs pulled ahead for an unexpected narrow win as the match progressed.

Vitória Guimarães managed to win their latest home outing against Moreirense, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Porto attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

Vitória Guimarães netted 6 goals in the last three away games, implying a very strong attack-minded performance even as visitors.

The end of the season is rapidly approaching, so the top Primeira Liga placements are highly contested. Porto are quite high up the table at 3rd, and they’re likely to further cement that position in this matchup.

The two teams already met this season in the Primeira Liga, with Porto taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 5.08 odds offer a decent return.
