Free Betting Tips for Portimonense vs Vizela

If you can’t seem to decide on a bet for Portimonense vs Vizela, check our top betting predictions for this duel here:

Vizela or Draw

Our first Portimonense vs Vizela prediction is for Vizela to avoid defeat. Vizela managed to do that in 6 of the last 7 H2Hs (W2 D4), including a 1-0 home win back in October this season. Vizela also collected 4 points from their last 2 away games. At the same time, Portimonense lost 4 of their last 5 league matches.

Result After 30 Mins – Draw

With our next betting tip, we make the prediction that after 30 minutes of play the game will still be locked in a draw. The sides are clearly evenly matched and split by only 3 points in the standings. Also, Portimonense are the slowest starting team in the entire division – scored only 2 goals inside the opening 30 minutes of matches all season.

Vizela are very cautious on their travels too. On average they don’t score their first goal away from home until the 47th minute. At the same time, they don’t concede on average until the 46th minute on the road. All this makes a draw after only 30 minutes of play very likely.

Under 2.5 Goals

Our final Portimonense vs Vizela prediction is for the game to have fewer than 3 total goals scored. Both sides are low-scoring teams and this is why we don’t think there will be many goals in this contest.

All of the last 3 H2H clashes were low-scoring affairs and had fewer than 3 goals. So did 5 of Portimonense’s last 6 league matches and 2 of Vizela’s last 3 away league games.

Portimonense vs Vizela Lineups and Team News

Portimonense

Portimonense lost 0-2 on their visit to Chaves last weekend. This third consecutive defeat once again exposed the team’s lack of cutting edge. Portimonense created precious little going forward. Not just that but they even failed to convert 2 penalties in the match.

Defensively things had been bad lately too, unable to keep a clean sheet in any of the last 5 rounds. At least the lead over the bottom 3 remains a healthy 10 points so the pressure on the group is not that high.

Latest news

Last season’s starting winger Carlinhos remains sidelined. This is the only serious injury issue though and really the manager can’t hide behind excuses. Rochez and Estrela are pushing for starting roles, while Ventura was once again very shaky on the flank last weekend and he could sit on the bench now.

Vizela

Vizela’s form in the last 9 rounds had been pretty decent (W3 D2 L4). Considering that the 4 defeats during that run were against the top 4 teams in the standings Vizela had done pretty well. This helped them to all but secure safety already, they opened a 13-point lead over the bottom 3.

With not much pressure on the squad from now on the manager already started to give some of his younger players more minutes. Lacava, Alvarado and Etim are some of those teenagers that can be expected to get more and more involved in the coming weeks.

Latest news

Important wing-back Bruno Wilson is ruled out due to a muscle injury. No other injury issues were reported though so the gaffer has plenty of choices if he wants to refresh the lineup.
