Benfica Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match where the greatest demand for victory will be on Benfica's side and it is therefore natural that Bruno Lage's team will act to have control of the game, in possession and tactically, as has been customary in recent times. On the other hand Rio Ave should seek to alternate in periods of greater initiative and others where try to bet on the counterattack. The two teams have very interesting offensive arguments, but defensively they may be limped, which may end the game with a considerable number of finishing occasions.

In the last match, they have won at home against Portimonense by (4‑0), after in the previous match they have won (0‑1) an away match against Tondela.

In last Wednesday's match, defenders André Almeida and Rúben Dias unlocked the result, noting the first two goals of Benfica's return to goals. For later, was reserved another goal of the Brazilian striker Carlos Vinicius, who took full advantage of the title provided by the "incarnated" coach.

Analysis Rio Ave

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Paços de Ferreira, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Moreirense, by (1‑1).

In the last 4 away league matches Rio Ave has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 7 points out of 12 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In 9 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Rio Ave has made an average course in this championship so far and reaches this 10th round looking to be able to approach the continental qualifying places. Carlos Carvalhal's team has been one of the best football players in the national context, but the results have not always been in agreement with the views of the Vila Condenses. In the last round, Rio Ave could not win again, after Paços de Ferreira's nil, drawing 1-1 at the reception of Moreirense. A game that had two distinct parts, as balance was the dominant note in the first half, and in the second half Rio Ave dominated on a large scale, but failed to successfully complete several plays that could have been worth the turnaround.

Confirmed Lineup: Pawel Kieszek, Toni Borevković, Nélson Monte, Matheus Reis, Aderllan Santos, Nikola Jambor, Tarantini, Filipe Augusto, Nuno Santos, Mehdi Taremi, Gabrielzinho.
Coach: L. Batalha Freire.
