Porto - Vizela predictions

Porto have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Porto and the 19.60 odds given to Vizela to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Porto previously played an away game but were nonetheless hard favourites with bookies pricing their victory at the 14.42. The showdown went about as one might expect. They dominated the match from kick-off and secured a comfortable 0:3 victory.

Vizela are coming on the back of a 2:1 home victory against Farense in the previous round. Still, their performance in that match was somewhat unconvincing, especially after their opponents took the lead in the first half.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Porto are number 3rd in the current Primeira Liga standings, and the time to move up is rapidly running out. They’ll need 6 points to do so, so this matchup is just what they needed.

With just 21 point to their name after 26 games, the away team are in dire straits. Their chances of moving up the table seem very slim considering the 19.60 betting odds for them winning this round. They’ll need to do something soon if they want to do stay in the Primeira Liga, though.

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

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Mehdi Taremi, Zaidu Sanusi, Ivan Marcano will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

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.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.48 at Betway.
