Command Analysis
Vilafranquense
PortugalCurrent form
The Primeira Liga newcomer is betting on securing a place in the top football division and so far everything is going quite well. In eight matches played, ABC has earned nine points, which allows them to be outside the relegation zone in 12th place in the table. In the last two rounds, the “red-whites” did not lose, drew with “Farense” (0:0) and “Arouca” (1:1). Despite certain successes, the hosts look weak in attack, scoring only seven goals. It should be noted that at the level of the Portuguese giants, ABC looks frankly weak, after all, the noticeable difference in class has an effect. Thus, in the match with “Sporting” they were unable to counter the opponent with anything – a defeat with a score of 0:3.

PortugalCurrent form
Since the start of the season in Primeira Liga, Porto has allowed itself only one slip-up, when it lost to Sporting (0:2) in a crucial match. In all the other seven matches, the Dragons have only won. We should note the team reliable play in defense - only four goals conceded. In the last round of the championship, Porto won at home against Braga with a score of 2:1. In the Europa League, Vitor Bruno charges have earned four points in three rounds, with which they occupy an intermediate 15th place, having beaten Hoffenheim (2:0) in the last match. Undoubtedly, it is important to earn three points today, since Sporting has pulled ahead by six points, but has already played its match of the ninth round.

Undoubtedly, Porto will have a decent rotation of the squad today, given the difficult schedule of performances, but there is still a huge difference in class between the opponents and it is unlikely that the hosts can count on points. In the match against Sporting, they were unable to counter their famous opponent - a 0:3 defeat. With a high degree of probability, events on the field will develop according to the same scenario today, and the favorite will confidently take three points.
Our prediction is a Porto victory with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.90

Porto plays reliably in defense, conceding only four goals in the championship, two of which were from Sporting. ABC have had little success in attack, having managed to score only seven goals in the Primeira Liga. The “dragons” are highly likely to register another “dry” victory today.

Bet on the first half
In the last three victorious matches, Porto created a lead at the start and won in the first half. We expect in the forecast that this time the events on the field will develop according to the same scenario.
