Porto vs AVS Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2025

Porto will host AVS at the Estádio do Dragão on Monday in another round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have been outstanding in the first half of the season under head coach Francesco Farioli and are charging full steam ahead in pursuit of their first Primeira Liga title since the 2021-22 campaign, sitting five points clear at the top of the table.

Following a shock quarterfinal exit from the Taça da Liga earlier in the month, which saw them lose 3-1 to Vitória, Porto have quickly regrouped, securing five consecutive wins with a 3-0 victory over Alverca last time out. Goals from Borja Sainz and Alan Varela helped the Dragons clinch a comfortable win on the road, and both players will now be looking to play their part in ensuring the title charge continues into the new year.

AVS, meanwhile, have been woeful in their sophomore season in the top flight and will need a significantly improved second half if they are to avoid relegation. Their winless start to the league campaign continued last weekend as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Nacional, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table with just four points.

Porto vs AVS Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Monday’s game will mark the third meeting between the two teams, with Porto having won their previous two matchups by an aggregate score of 7-0.
• Porto have the second-best offensive and best defensive records in the Portuguese top flight this season, with 33 goals scored and just four conceded in 15 matches.
• AVS, on the other hand, have the second-worst offensive and worst defensive records in the division so far, scoring only 11 goals while conceding 39 in the same number of games.
• Porto have the best home record in the Primeira Liga this term with six wins and a draw collected from seven games.

Porto vs AVS Prediction

Having won nine of their last 10 games across all competitions, Dragões are overwhelming favorites for Monday’s game and will likely need to do very little to secure a comfortable win.

AVS, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four league outings, conceding 14 goals during that period. They are badly mismatched ahead of next week’s clash and will primarily aim to keep the scoreline respectable.

Prediction: Porto 3-0 AVS
