Portugal Liga Zon Sagres 15th January 2012

Yesterday worked out quite well, so it’s the same again – unless otherwise stated, assume all games will be under 3.5 goals. Only recommendation today is to lay Uniao de Leiria.

4:00pm

Nacional v Uniao de Leiria

Lay Uniao. Some contradictory trends here – neither team are clean sheet specialists, but I’d leave both teams to score alone, even though I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

Result: 2-2…two red cards! W

Olhanense v Beira Mar

Inconclusive apart from a lack of goals. Beira Mar have a good defensive record on the road – five clean sheets in seven away games.

Result: Olhanense 2, Beira Mar 1 – so under 3.5 goals came in.

6:00pm

Academica v Vitoria Guimaraes

Lay Vitoria Guimaraes. Both teams NOT to score is also likely.

Result: Academica 0, Vitoria Guimaraes 2 – goals again and both teams didn’t score – but I think this counts as a surprise result.

8:15pm

Sporting Braga v Sporting Lisbon

Lay Sporting Lisbon – this is only their second away game against the other clubs in the big four this season and they lost at Benfica earlier. Braga are undefeated at home this season.

Result: Sporting Braga 2, Sporting Lisbon 1
