Expert Betting Tips
AVS Futebol SAD have yet to suffer defeat in their last four home matches, recording two wins and two draws, not to mention their solid defence that has seen them maintain three consecutive shutouts. However, it's still to be seen whether they can maintain that form.
FC Porto boast a superior squad at their disposal, and it's hard to imagine them not walking away with all three points in the bag. Therefore, we recommend supporting them to cover the Asian handicap of -1.5, as this has been the case in three of their last five away matches in the league.
