CD Mafra
- CD Mafra have won all of their last three home games.
- Our CD Mafra vs Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora betting tips highlight that Mafra are unbeaten at home in Liga 3, having won four and drawn one of their five games, averaging 1.6 goals per game - although they have only scored eight goals in total.
Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora
- Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora are winless on the road in this competition (D1, L3).
- Lusitano have won four of their last five in all competitions and are on a three-game winning streak that has included a 2-0 upset of Sporting Covilha in the cup and back-to-back league victories.
- Ricardo Pessoa’s Lusitano are the opposite in almost every way, preferring to sit deep and organised in a compact block, looking to punish their opponents on the counter or from set pieces.
Head-to-Head
This CD Mafra vs Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora prediction takes into account that Lusitano can certainly make a game of this matchup given the contrast in styles of the two teams and their recent good form, they will be looking to replicate the 4-1 home win over Mafra that they registered in the Liga 3 three months ago.
Key Players
- Tiago Baptista has been on a roll for the visitors with three goals in his last five appearances, but they could still do with a regular striker.
- Insaba Graca has three in seven, which isn’t bad, but they will need him to get his form going this weekend.
Betting Insights
- CD Mafra are the clear favorites at 2.08 when they take on Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora on Sunday, but that seems slightly on the low side for a team that have won four and lost just one of their last five games.
- The CD Mafra vs Lusitano Ginasio Clube Evora betting tips also suggest that Lusitano have scored just twice in four away games, so I’m confident in the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.58 here and believe the two sides will cancel each other out.
Prediction
I’m still expecting Mafra to win this game as they have been dominant at home with three straight wins, but Lusitano have won three in a row and the head-to-head record will keep me on the fence.
