Atletico Clube de Portugal
- Atletico Clube de Portugal will be very difficult to beat on Saturday when they host S.U. 1 Dezembro in the Portuguese third division, Liga 3.
- Priced at 1.69 to win, Pedro D’Oliveira’s side are the heavy favorites to do so and that is for good reason as the Lisbon-based Lions have looked the best team in the league so far, with 23 points from eight games.
- Atletico have won two and lost two of their four home games, scoring seven goals, and are a far more structured and tactical unit.
S.U. 1 Dezembro
- S.U. 1 Dezembro, by contrast, are very much a direct football team who look to counter with pace on the wings and a mobile front-line that can also punish turnover errors.
- They are sixth in Liga 3 with 10 points, 13 fewer than Atletico, having also lost their two previous games against Lusitano de Evora (2-1) and Amora FC (0-1).
- Dezembro have lost their last 3.
Head-to-Head
Atletico Clube de Portugal have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matchups, with S.U. 1 Dezembro winning the other.
Key Players
- Barandas has been Atletico’s difference-maker going forward with four goals in eight Liga 3 appearances, three of which have come in their last five.
- Dezembro’s Sapara is their best attacking outlet with three in eight.
Betting Insights
Both Teams to Score - No , looks a solid 1.67 bet here as Atletico should be able to keep it clean at their end of the field, while Over 2.5 goals at 2.15 offers some decent value given Atletico’s recent attacking form and Dezembro’s conceding record.
Prediction
So a home win looks likely in this one, with D’Oliveira’s tactics likely to give Atletico the upper hand and keep Dezembro at bay for large periods of the match.
