AVS
After a heavy-hitting semi final first-leg in the Portuguese promotion/relegation playoff, AVS will be going into the second leg with an almighty advantage over hosts Vizela, as they look to staple in their place in the Portuguese top flight once again after a 3-0 win.
Vizela, who in turn had suffered their first defeat since December as a result of that harsh first leg, will have it all to do and nothing to lose by doing it, setting up a tasty clash over in the Braga District.
Predicted Starting Lineup: Morro, Ramos, Correia, Goncalves, Reis, Nascimento, Semedo, Morschel, Loppy, Ntolla, Vivaldo
As three quick-fire goals flew in from AVS in the first leg of this affair, Vizela must have been kicking themselves for the amount of work now left to do in this second leg.
AVS moved at a ridiculous pace. Vizela had dominated possession of the ball and had the majority of the games chances leading to the hour mark, but three rapid-fire counters mixed with Vizela's attacking impotence left the away side that day reeling.
Now, heading into a mammoth second-leg, Vizela will be hoping that they can turn that dominance into a remarkable comeback. Having not lost a game for over 5 months, their defeat against AVS came in shockingly brutal fashion. Expect risks, with Vizela now in do-or-die territory.
Predicted Starting Lineup: SImao, Fonesca, Teixeira, Castro, Rodrigues, Assuncao, Ciscar, Piazon, Akinsola, Mercado, Luis
AVS rocked their counterpart in this death-defying contest and then some, in the first leg of the affair.
Despite looking to be the team set to go behind first for the majority of the contest, those aforementioned rapid-fire goals proved to be a massive difference, riding a wave of Vizela dominance before putting them to the sword in lethal manner.
They'll need to keep their composure and avoid complacency to get the job done, keeping their spot in the top division as a result, because Vizela will be throwin everything they have at them.
Unfortunately, this game won't be readily available on TV for UK viewers. The action kicks off at 7:45PM on the evening of Monday, 1st of June.
With Vizela at a severe disadvantage before a ball has even been kicked, we would expect an open game with the hosts taking plenty of risks. That's why our tipsters have opted for a market of Over 2.5 Goals in this leg of the tie. With AVS exploiting the counter attacks well in the first leg, too, we can see them finding the net to help this along.
You can get this market at a nice price of 2.1 over at Ladbrokes, meaning a £10 stake returns £21!
We think Vizela have the quality to put a dent back into the mighty lead made by AVS, but still think the top-flight hosts will have a goalscoring answer to stop aggregate scores being a problem. 2-1 to Vizela, is our pick, but with AVS staying in the top-flight on aggregate.
