SANTA CLARA v VARZIM
Wednesday 28th September 2016 – Kickoff: 1800hrs
Football – Portugal – Segunda Liga Betting Tips
It’s a quick delve into the Portuguese second tier next with a look at second placed Santa Clara taking on Varzim at their Estádio de São Miguel, as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten start to the new campaign to eight league matches without defeat.
Santa Clara took another three points on the weekend with a 2-0 home win over Porto B and having won all four of their home matches so far in this campaign, the home side will be confident of making it five on the trot here this evening.
Wins over Vitoria, Famalico, Gil Vicente and the aforementioned Porto B have contributed towards their impressive home record which stands at 4-0-0 7/2, and with forward Clemente (4 goals) being the most likely anytime goalscorer in their ranks, Santa Clara are expected to be in the driving seat.
Visitors Varzim currently sit mid-table in the Portuguese Segunda Liga but it should be noted that their current position is down to their home record which has seen them capture three league wins from their first four matches on home turf to date.
However, it’s a very different story away from home for tonight’s visitors as they’ve failed to register a win on their travels to date having lost two (at Gil Vicente and Leixoes) along with two draws (at Academico Viseu and Sporting Braga B).
Their away record therefore stands at 0-2-2 3/7 and indeed, have won just once in their last eight matches on the road, so a visit to a rampant Santa Clara who have won their last eight on the trot at home may well cause them further problems.
Pick: Santa Clara AH-0.25 @ 1.68 bet365
