Famalicao
Estadio da Capital do Movel will host Wednesday’s football game between Pacos de Ferreira and Famalicao. Pacos de Ferreira have been impressive at the back of late, with the team keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three league fixtures, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Famalicao. It has to be noted that the hosts booked their place in the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals by beating the likes of Louletano, Sanjoanense, and Espinho.
The visitors, on the other hand, are the undisputedly the biggest surprise of the season. Famalicao have been performing well in their debut season in Primeira Liga, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. Seeing that the visitors look solid at the back as well, under 2.5 goals bet should be considered.
