Portugal vs Vietnam Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Thursday, 27 July 2023.
Portugal will face Vietnam in the second match of both nations’ World Cup campaigns in Group E at Waikato Stadium. Portugal enters the contest with a 1-0 defeat to the Netherlands on Matchday 1. The setback raises the importance of this encounter for their qualifying purposes, given the presence of the United States in the group.
Their opponents, Vietnam, are the weakest teams in the group and were comfortably defeated 3-0 by the USA. They will, however, aim to put up a fight in order to keep themselves in conversation.
This will be marked as the first ever meeting between these two teams.
We are counting on Portugal to pull off a win here. They are by far the superior team here and have had considerable success in recent months. They have won nine of their last thirteen matches.
Vietnam, on the other hand, has had a difficult time finding form. Their past four matches have all ended in defeats.
We expect goals in this match, but not a barrage of them. In each of Portugal’s last six matches, there have been fewer than 3.5 goals scored. Also, Vietnam has failed to score a single goal in their last three matches.
By the looks of things, a modestly-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Portugal is ranked 11 places higher than their opponent and is in fine shape going into the match. They have won nine of their last thirteen matches. Furthermore, Vietnam has a dismal record going into the match.
Therefore, we will take the 1.77 odds offered for Portugal to win the first half by two or more goals.
For the second tip, under 3.5 goals at 1.75 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
