Academico Viseu vs FC Porto — Tips & Analysis

FC Porto -1.25: Porto have started this season perfectly and they have not let in a goal doing it. They have won all four games so far, 2-0 against Arouca, 2-0 at Rio Ave, 2-0 against Alverca and 1-0 in the Super Cup. That run is the reason we want them. Porto have won 13 of their last 18 and arrive on five straight wins, letting in under a goal a game. Viseu are honest and well organised. They have won 8 of their last 18 and let in under a goal a game themselves. Almost all of that was built in the second tier, against Vizela, Farense and Feirense, not against attacks like this one. Viseu are in the top flight for the first time in 37 years, and Santa Clara have already beaten them on their own ground. Viseu have also lost four of the last five meetings with Porto. Porto should take the lead before half time and then control the rest, so a 0-2 finish looks the likely result. That is exactly the game we are backing. The worry is that Viseu are hard to beat badly. They have lost by 2 or more in only 1 of their last 18 games, and they tied at Benfica and Maritimo this month. Porto still look a level above, and we expect them to show it.
