BetGenius backs Varzim or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Varzim host Trofense in the 1/128-finals of the Taça de Portugal, with both sides looking to advance in the knockout competition. The hosts enter this cup tie in strong form, having secured four consecutive victories in all competitions, including a 4-1 away win against Paços de Ferreira and a 2-1 home victory over AD Marco 09.
Trofense, by contrast, have experienced a more uneven run of results across their last five outings. While they recorded a 1-0 home victory against São João Ver in their most recent match, they previously suffered back-to-back defeats against Vianense (2-0) and Varzim (1-0).
Recent direct encounters also tilt towards the home side. Varzim have won each of the last three head-to-head fixtures between the two clubs in 2026 without conceding a goal, including a 1-0 away win earlier in August.
the last 10 meetings are split 5-5 with 0 drawn, averaging 3.1 goals a game, both teams scored in 60% of them.
