AVS vs FC Porto Prediction & Betting Tips (28 October)

In the wake of its nice success against Rio Ave 1-0 in mid-September, AVS subsequently took a hit in its momentum by being unable to win any of its last three matches in the league for a record of a fairly large defeat on the Sporting pitch 3-0 and two parity scores against Farense 0-0 and Arouca before the break 1-1. As a reminder, last weekend, the Portuguese clubs got in tune with the Portuguese Cup and suffice to say that the promoted team did the job by winning on the Os Sandinenses pitch 0-2. There is no need to introduce Porto, 30 times Portuguese champion in its history but no longer crowned since the 2021-22 season. Over the past two years, the Dragons have had to settle for the role of referee between Sporting and Benfica.

At the start of this day, despite an incredible record of 21 points in 8 days, or 24 possible, Porto appeared as runner-up to Sporting, winner of its 8 days of championship. Like AVS, the residents of the Estadio do Dragâo played in the Portuguese Cup last weekend and they easily defeated Sintrense 0-3 while they remained on a narrow victory before the break against Braga in the league 2-1. Note, however, that last week, the 2004 European champion under Mourinho welcomed the Germans from Hoffenheim in the Europa League to follow.

A priori, only Lucas Moura (20 years old) will be absent for this meeting due to an injury. His Brazilian compatriot Nenê will be present with his 2 achievements in the championship. Author of a goal and two assists, Kiki was preserved in the Portuguese Cup last weekend (probably IN this evening).

Absent for far too long now, Marcano and Zaidu will be out of this meeting while the talented Fran Navarro (back from his loan to Olympiakos with 5 goals) made his return to competition via the national cup. The Brazilians Pepê (2 goals in the league) and Galeno (6 goals in 8 days of the league) will be there, like rookie Samu Omorodion (4 pawns in 5 appearances in the league).
