Santa Clara v Vizela
Friday 15:30
In Poland yesterday, Gornik and Korona drew 1-1 to pay out on our BTTS bet.
We're in Portugal today for this afternoon's Primeira Liga game between rock-bottom Santa Clara and mid-table Vizela. Despite the hosts' desperate need for the points, we're taking the visitors to emerge with the victory.
Santa Clara are 13 Liga games without a win. They've lost 11 of those winless matches, including all of the last seven. At home on the Azores, they are W2-D4-L7 this term, losing five of the last six. They've conceded 17 times across those last six games - and at least twice in each game individually.
Vizela are comfortable in eighth and have found some form. They've won three of their last four - only third-placed Braga have stopped them.
There's an interesting split in Vizela's results this season: home and away, they are W0-D0-L8 against teams currently in top 5; playing anyone else, they are W10-D5-L3 overall and W5-D3-L1 away from home. Santa Clara are a long way from the top 5, so we'll take the visitors to fly home with a win today.
