Porto vs Santa Clara Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal

Prediction published on 02/04/2022, 02:00  by Indran in Liga Portugal Predictions

Porto welcomes Santa Clara to the Estádio do Dragão for this Portuguese Premier League match. The hosts are currently on top of the table with 73 points while the visitors are in 10th position with 31 points. Porto were knocked out of the Europa League just before the international break and this could prove a blessing in disguise to them. Their sole focus can now be on winning the league title. They are six points ahead of defending champions Sporting. Porto play a day later than Sporting so they could possibly be only three points ahead when their match kicks off. They are unbeaten in the league this season with 23 wins and four draws. With only seven matches left to play a win in this match will go a long way to securing the title.

Santa Clara were staring down the relegation zone earlier in the season but an excellent run that has seen them lose only once in their last 11 matches has seen them climb to safety. They are comfortably in mid table now and are unbeaten in their last five matches. Santa Clara are the draw experts as five of their last seven matches have ended in stalemates. They will be concerned by their lack of goals as they have failed to score in three of the last four matches. Their defence on the other hand has been brilliant as they have only conceded two goals in their last five matches. Santa Clara have lost their last ten league matches against Porto but did beat them in the Cup competition last year.
