👉 Our prediction is: Portuguesa to win

Portuguesa is the in their match against Monagas. Coming away from a formidable ground like Estadio Monumental de Maturín (El Coloso de Maturín) with all three points is never easy, but we are still tipping Portuguesa to win in this match.

Portuguesa has been in fantastic form of late, with their statistics and their results showing serious upward momentum. That momentum will be put to the test away at Monagas, but our analysts are confident they can score the big away win.

👉 Our prediction is: Monagas to win the 1st half

Monagas has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Portuguesa, so our top tip is for Monagas to win the first half.
