Porto vs Famalicão prediction and betting tips on April 18, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 30th round of the Portuguese Primeira on April 18, 2025, Porto will face Famalicão. In order to avoid a complete failure this season, the ambitious hosts must win this match.
Our Prediction for Porto - Famalicão
The giants from "Dragão" have not won championship titles in the last two seasons. Last year, they hopelessly lagged behind their eternal rivals. This led to a presidential change – Villas-Boas won the elections last spring. Meanwhile, their modest opponents from Vila Nova finished last season among the mid-table teams, with 42 points, in eighth place.
Despite the changes, the popular club from Porto not only failed to improve. In the Europa League, they were knocked out by Roma in the very first round of the playoffs, suffered a defeat to humble Moreirense in the cup back in November, and in the League Cup lost to Sporting in early January. Only the Primeira remains, and even there they not only failed to catch up with the leading pair but also allowed Braga to draw level on points by mid-spring! At least Casa Pia was beaten – 1-0. Armando Evangelista's team, on the contrary, improved after a ten-match winless streak, starting a series of victories from late January. Estoril was even thrashed 3-0.
Ajehova and company score an average of 1.9 goals per game. Their defense is also solid, with Costa proving to still be one of the best, conceding just 0.86 on average. The visitors have also managed a positive ratio – 1.31 scored and 1.07 conceded per game.
