Football Bet of the Day: Setubal to serve up goals again

Tondela v Setubal
Tuesday 19:00

Espanyol didn't mess around in Malaga last night. The Parakeets grabbed the lead after just six minutes and hung on for their first La Liga away win of 2017/18, and for our first win of 2018.

We're sticking around southern Europe today for one of tonight's two games from Portugal's Primeira Liga. Since Tondela returned to the top flight in 2015 they've hosted Setubal twice: first they lost 3-1; then they won 2-1. With a big price on Over 2.5 Goals today, it's those goals totals getting us excited.

Since Pepa took charge of Tondela, the Gold and Greens have seen just over half of their home games go Over 2.5 Goals (9/17) - including six of the most recent seven. Sitting in 11th place, they've managed just one clean sheet in eight attempts at Joao Cardoso Stadium this season.

Twelve of Vitoria Setubal's last 21 away games have also gone Over 2.5 Goals and we're taking the generous price about this one going the same way. They've managed just the one clean sheet themselves across those 21 matches and we fancy that these two porous defences can give us something to smile about this evening.
