Vizela - Chaves prediction and betting tips on April 15, 2024
Game Prediction
Overall, a pair from Portugal like Vizela and Chaves doesn't generate much excitement as they are the underdogs in their league. However, closing out the Primeira Liga matchday, they will face each other on Monday, one of the less eventful days in terms of football. Which of these teams is stronger at the moment? The website's readers are provided with a match prediction for April 15, 2024.
Vizela is increasingly losing their survival chances.
The "Vizelenses" are a modest team that has spent a considerable number of years at the top division level in the country. However, they got involved in a corruption scandal, which forced them to even survive, playing the role of a "farm team" for their status neighbor, Braga. The project gradually "built its muscles" again and returned to the Primeira Liga in 2021 after a 35-year hiatus. They have collected a decent amount of points twice, for instance, finishing eleventh last spring. Currently, they have 4 wins and 21 points - obviously, these numbers position them as away underdogs. Moreover, their last three matches ended in defeats.
Chaves sharply declined this season.
The "Brave Ones" occasionally "shine." They haven't spent even two decades at the Primeira Liga level but managed to reach the country's cup final in 2010 and have experience playing on the European stage. Compared to previous seasons, 2022/2023 was successful for a team that recently returned from the second division, finishing seventh. They expected a decline after that, but now the "Flavienses" have plummeted to the bottom of the table. In March, they only managed to secure one draw in four matches - a 0-0 against Gil Vicente playing with a reduced squad. In April, they even lost 2-3 at home to the outsider Portimonense.
Previous Matches
For six times in a row, starting back in 2013 at the semi-professional level of the Northern Zone, these sides strictly played to draws. However, in December, the "Brave Ones" managed to secure a 2-1 victory at home.
