Amarante vs Tirsense tips and predictions

Things won't be straightforward for Amarante

There's not much between Amarante and Tirsense in the Campeonato de Portugal. The hosts are in third place with 22 points, compared to their opponents who are in fifth place on 21 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Amarante has made them a terrible bet. Tirsense don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the hosts honest.

It has not been simple to pinpoint the key data in this match-up but given the visitors' recent defensive record away from home, the draw is the recommendation. Tirsense haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 3 have ended in a draw.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score due to the favouritism for Amarante. The No BTTS bet would be sensible.

Amarante have drawn 7 of their last 18 matches, most recently when they drew 3-3 with Santa Marta Penaguiao last week. Tirsense have drawn 7 of their last 13 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they couldn't put any distance between themselves and SC Mirandela last week and while the prediction is for any stalemate, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices. The draw is the play after what looks likely to be a low-scoring affair.
