The last ten head-to-head matches were 10 consecutive victories for Porto, including a 0-2 back in April as visitors.
Update:
For the ones who already know about the Portuguese league, this prediction should be obvious. FC Porto is one of the ‘big 3’ in Portugal. Along with Benfica and Sporting, these 3 teams have won almost every edition of Primeira Liga. Actually, these 3 teams are currently placed in the top 3 positions after 8 rounds played. For FC Porto, they are second only one point behind Benfica. For now, 6 victories and 2 draws give them a great undefeated streak, and the first-place distance reduced from 4 to 1 point in the last round, when Benfica couldn’t take the victory at home. The team wants to be on top and fight for another title, so winning is the only option for them.
On the other hand, Tondela already sum 5 losses in 8 rounds. This is a middle-class team in this league and they are always in the lower half of the board. With a $21 million budget against the $265 million from FC Porto, there is no doubt about why the visitors are the favorites.
After checking the odds and the last results between them, a -1 AH looks like the safest option, so I will go for it. If you enjoyed this insider match preview of the Tondela – FC Porto duel, then register on the best betting software and reserve your seat amongst the winners.
