1.95Tip and bets
Porto looks more than decent at the start of the season under the new coach and is certainly the favorite. It is obvious that the "dragons" will come for three points and will probably take them without any problems - Santa Clara is seriously inferior in class and has recently been a convenient opponent for Porto.
We believe that the favorite will not make a mistake. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Porto . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on total
Porto, without a doubt, sets the most serious tasks in the championship and in the conditions of such a tough competition for the title, losing points even in the second round is highly contraindicated. It is obvious that the "dragons" will be aggressive in front and Santa Clara will not be left without conceded goals, but at the same time the "Azoreans" score regularly against Porto, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.89
Bet on corners
Porto are the favourites and will certainly play first – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Porto. This bet is offered for 1.61
