Santa Clara - Vitória Guimarães betting tips and odds

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Santa Clara will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Vitória Guimarães.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Vitória Guimarães are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Santa Clara took an unexpected lead in the first half of their previous round’s showdown against Marítimo , but it fell through as the game progressed and the end result was a painful 3:1 away loss.

Vitória Guimarães are coming off from an unexpected 2:1 victory against Sporting Braga. At odds of 3.95, not even the most optimistic of their fans expected a win – yet they pulled one off anyway after taking the lead in the first half.

Santa Clara have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Primeira Liga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Away matches for Vitória Guimarães are often a good chance to go for something like an Under 5 Goals bet. Their previous two away games both ended up confirming it – none of them contained more than a single goal in total.

Santa Clara already played against Vitória Guimarães in an earlier round of this Primeira Liga season. Vitória Guimarães ended that match with a solid home win, though it wasn’t exactly a decisive victory. They’ll be trying to repeat that success, though it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re the away team this round.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.50, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
