REF’s picks

FC Penafiel enter this fixture in stellar home form and hold all the momentum against an inconsistent AVS side. Backing the hosts at 1.89 offers solid value given their strong start to the Liga Portugal 2 campaign.

1. 1Penafiel sit comfortably near the top of the table with consistent attacking displays on home soil.
2. 2AVS have struggled to find fluidity on their travels, collecting several draws against lower-tier opposition.
3. 3A tight defensive setup from the visitors could frustrate Penafiel early on and make breaking the deadlock challenging.
