Command Analysis
FC Porto
PortugalCurrent form
Porto clearly expected to fight for the championship title, but so far they do not fully correspond to the status of a clear contender for the "gold".

In the last round, Porto drew 1:1 with Famalicao, losing points for the second time in the last three rounds.

Estrela da Amadora
PortugalCurrent form
Estrela hardly had the opportunity to set ambitious goals for itself in the championship – the main focus is on maintaining its place in the Primeira Liga. So far, Luis Silva’s team is coping with its task, sitting in 13th place in the table with 12 points. The “tricolors” are one point ahead of the transitional matches zone, so the situation can hardly be called stable yet.

Porto has lost a lot of points in the last rounds, but is still a contender for the championship title and today has the opportunity to get within two points of the leader. It is obvious that the Dragons will have no problems with motivation and today the hosts will strive to play at full strength - Estrela is seriously inferior in class and is unlikely to be able to avoid a major defeat in such a situation.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-2) on Porto . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on total
"Porto" is certainly the favorite and will be determined today - there is a high probability that already in the first half the hosts will be able to create serious problems for the opponent not very stable defense. However, the "dragons" also concede regularly, a goal from "Estrela" will not be a big surprise, it makes sense to count on a goal extravaganza.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.67
Bet on corners
Porto are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-5) on corners for Porto. This bet is offered for 1.85
