Our next preview features a clash between Porto and Pacos Ferreira in the Primeira Liga as the betting tips continue at the Estádio Do Dragão.
Porto Prediction – Can Porto close gap on Benfica?
Monday night’s hosts are currently in 2nd place in the Primeira Liga and 5 points adrift of league leaders Benfica, but all three points against second from bottom club, Pacos Ferreira on Monday night would see the deficit slashed to just a 2-point margin.
Having won 9 out of their last 10 matches overall in the Portuguese top flight, few people would argue that the hosts look destined to collect another three points here, but rather what the margin of victory is likely to be as Porto look to secure a sixth straight home win on the trot.
A 100% winning record on home turf at their Estádio Do Dragão has seen Porto produce a strong record of 5-0-0 13/0 under their belts this season so far, and even more impressive is the fact that they’ve also kept 5 clean sheets on the trot as well.
Indeed, Porto have won their last 10 home matches on the trot in the Primeira Liga and have kept an impressive 9 clean sheets within this sequence too, while they’ve been ahead in each of their 5 home matches this season to date.
Pacos Ferreira Prediction – Can Pacos Ferreira pick up first away win?
This outcome looks extremely unlikely as the visitors find themselves in a real mess sitting second from bottom in the Portuguese top flight and still yet to register an away win so far in this new Primeira Liga campaign.
Pacos Ferreira did manage to end a sequence of 4 league matches without a win last time out though with a much-needed 1-0 home win against Tondela, but along with an earlier 2-1 home win against Desportivo Aves, these have been the only highlights in what has otherwise been a disappointing season to date for the visitors.
With just 2 wins out of their last 17 matches in the Primeira Liga and a poor away record this term of 0-1-4 3/12, they look set to have their work cut out against this impressive Porto outfit, especially as Pacos Ferreira have lost 10 of their last 12 matches away from home in the domestic top flight.
Within this poor 12-match sequence on their travels, Pacos Ferreira have failed to score in 7 of these matches, so they look set for another defeat on Monday night.
Key-Facts – Porto vs Pacos Ferreira
- Porto have won their last 10 home matches on the trot in the Primeira Liga
- Pacos Ferreira have lost 10 of their last 12 matches away from home
- Porto have been leading at half-time in each of their 5 home matches this term
Betting Tips Verdict
Porto look set for another three points here and should get off to a quick start against their struggling opponents.
