Leixões Sporting Covilhã betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario will be some goals. Bearing in mind that the game is at Leixões' home, we believe that the local team acts with a more cautious identity, giving few space to their opponent, and trying to exploit the defensive weaknesses of Sporting da Covilhã through counterattacks. On the other hand, Sporting da Covilhã has a squad with a lot of individual quality, able from one moment to the next to reach finishing zones and score. That said, and in view of these factors, risking in “Over 2.5 goals” in this game is of value.
