βοΈ Editorβs Prediction
Spain hold the edge in the head-to-head, but their struggles in the second set open the door for Portugal to capitalise in this part of the match. The trend shows that Spain frequently falter in the second set, which could prove decisive in this clash. The recommended bet is Portugal to win the second set.
