Betting tips for FC Porto VS Setubal 16.02.2019

FC Porto will play at Estádio do Dragão with no margin of error if they want to remain in the lead of the NOS League. After losing to Vitória de Guimarães and Moreirense, who had the effect of losing their one-point advantage in only 1 point, to qualify for second place, FC Porto must return to the win. The opponent is the Vitória de Setúbal that after the entrance of Sandro Mendes has not lost yet, but neither has won. A game that should have no surprises about the winner, but where FC Porto will certainly be very pressed.

FC Porto could not stand another cycle in which the schedule was very demanding. The successive games in a short time, where they crossed championship, League Cup and Cup of Portugal were the drop of water for the group of Sérgio Conceição. The dragons were eliminated from the League Cup by Sporting, and in the following two trips tied in Guimarães (0-0) and then in Moreira de Cónegos (1-1). As if it still was not enough they lost to Roma (2-1) this week, in game to count for the Champions League.

Thus, the alarm signal sounds, and the team urgently needs to win the next game, because now it is essential to maintain the first place, if Benfica win on this journey. With all this, the dragons have won only 1 of the last 5 games, also having 3 draws and 1 defeat, counting the games for all the competitions. In the Liga NOS the blues and whites add 50 points, 1 more than Benfica that is 2nd place and 2 more than Sporting Braga that is the 3rd place. The dragons are the best defense of the event with only 12 goals conceded, and they scored 42 being the 2nd most concrete attack of Liga NOS.

There is not much more to add, it is a Porto that is thirsting for victories, which must win to maintain the lead, and Vitória de Setúbal can even pay the bill.

Setúbal's victory continues to go through difficult moments, inside and outside the four lines. However, the change in the technical command came to bring some more serenity, and the sadinos have not yet lost under the guidance of Sandro Mendes. In total they have 3 draws, first with Sporting (1-1), then with Nacional (0-0) and Belenenses (0-0). It is noticed that the team is very prudent, and makes of its defensive organization its greater weapon. Also for that reason they have verified the tendency of over with no game to have more of 2 goals.

Vitória de Setúbal is ranked 12th with 22 points added, which allows them to be in a maintenance zone, but only with a short advantage of 2 points. The sadinos no longer know what it is to win since 1 December. There have been 12 games since that last triumph, and the Sado team recorded 7 losses and 5 draws. Alex Freitas and Mikel are injured and can not be at the orders of Sandro Mendes.


The favoritism of FC Porto is not in question, despite its moment of lesser brilliance. The physical condition has been very responsible for the current moment of the blues and whites, but the qualitative difference is very significant for the Vitória de Setúbal. Sandro Mendes should put a team again very defensive, trying to wait for the right moment to be able to surprise the dragons.
