APWin Prediction

BTTS - No

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

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

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Portuguesa vs Avaí, where we have Portuguesa to win the first half as our best bet.

Portuguesa has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Portuguesa taking an advantage into half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Avaí to win

Take Avaí lightly at your own risk. While they are playing away from home, they are still a dangerous opponent that is capable of causing an upset.

Indeed, we are tipping Avaí to win outright on the 1X2 market, where they are priced at 2.67 to win. We see Avaí matching up well with Portuguesa, and they have some weapons that can exploit the home side's vulnerabilities.
