FC Porto vs Vizela Betting Analysis
Vizela has secured two draws in its opening two games in this competition, but has struggled in the league this year. With just four wins in the league this season, Vizela is sitting just six points above the final relegation spot.
FC Porto has owned recent head-to-head meetings against Vizela, winning all of their previous four contests against them and scoring an average of 3.0 goals per game.
Vizela’s Solid Road Form This Season
While the ‘Vizelenses’ have struggled to find form as a whole this year, a lot of those issues for the visitors have been in at home.
Away from home, it’s been a much different story with Vizela ranking as the seventh-best team in the league on road form this year. They have a win over fifth-place Casa Pia, so they shouldn’t be underestimated ahead of this game.
FC Porto Remains Dangerous Offensively
While they’ve yet to really open up in this competition so far, netting an average of just 2.0 goals per game, FC Porto has definitely shown the ability to rip open opposing defenses on-demand this year.
The Dragons have already scored 19 goals at home this season in the league, an average of 3.17 per game, with 73.7-percent of those goals coming from open play as well.
FC Porto vs Vizela Prediction
Despite Vizela’s solid road form this season, it’s hard to imagine anything other than a convincing home victory for FC Porto in this one.
However, we do believe Vizela could find the back of the net in this one also as they’ve averaged more than a goal per game on the road in the league this year, and scored two goals in their last visit to this venue back in May.
The ‘FC Porto & Both Teams to Score’ prop is going off at a healthy +205 in this one, and we like the value on that to cash as FC Porto. Despite some expected rotation to their squad here on Friday, Porto likely overpowers Vizela offensively in this one.
Take the FC Porto & Both Teams to Score prop at +205 on Friday in the Portuguese League Cup matchup between Vizela and FC Porto. For more free soccer picks, check out WagerTalk’s free picks page.
