Leixões Sporting Covilhã betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

There is a high probability that this game will end with few goals. Leixões, for playing at home, must go up in search of the defensive weaknesses of the visiting team and thus reach the goal that can put an end to the series of four consecutive defeats for the championship. On the other hand, the visitors must be concerned with defensive processes and counterattacks to reach finishing zones. Having said that and taking into account the need for both teams to win, we expect a balanced game with few goal situations, so we would bet on “Under 2,5 goals”.
