Sanjoanense vs Varzim tips and predictions

Jury's still out in Liga 3 battle

There's not much between Sanjoanense and Varzim in the Liga 3. The hosts are in fourth place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 10 points.

Arguments can be made for both sides in this fixture but the value is with neither side prevailing. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Making something of a fortress against their latest opposition, Sanjoanense have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches. Meanwhile Varzim haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 matches.

It would be crazy to suggest that the favourites are a lock here. It's perfectly credible that the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet. And for fans of the goal line, it's Under 1.5 standing out in this one given the current prices.

Sanjoanense have drawn 7 of their last 19 matches. Further, Varzim have drawn 5 of their last 11 away matches. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up but the pick has to be with draw and the stalemate seems perfectly sensible.
