Estoril vs Porto Betting Tips

Estoril are in their familiar mid-table position in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. They’ve won two of their last three games and played a pretty competitive home game against Benfica two weeks ago, only losing 2-1. They’ve only scored 18 times in 19 games, conceding on 22 occasions, but they are one of the few Primeira Liga clubs capable of getting men behind the ball and battling hard with members of the big three.

Porto are one of the big three, but they drifted to five points behind first place Sporting Lisbon at this stage. Results in their first five games in 2016 could hardly have been more mixed for Porto. It did of course start with a disappointing defeat to Sporting, they were held by Rio Ave, lost to Vitoria Guimaraes, but also thrashed Boavista 5-0 and came away with a 1-0 win over Maritimo in their last outing.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Porto break out again

The erratic play is a concern and could easily cost Porto their shot at the Primeira Liga title, but we’ll back them to score goals in this game and to break the 2.5 goals mark.

2. Don’t write off Estoril

They battled well against Benfica and we don’t discount them from making an impact in this clash, even one goal adds significantly to the likelihood of the 2.5 Goals mark getting broken.

3. Great odds

1/1 in a Primeira Liga match that includes Porto on the Over 2.5 Goals mark. It’s too good to miss out on.
