Rio Ave Tondela betting prediction

After 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, the home team is in the 5^th position, havinf won 7 points so far. In the last match, they have tied at home against Vitória Guimarães by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have won (2‑3) an away match against Sporting CP. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. Rio Ave has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Rio Ave returns to the competition very close to the places of access to Europe, which is the club's main goal for the season. For now, the team now led by Carlos Carvalhal has given a good show, lost in their debut with Famalicão (1-0), but has since scored seven points out of nine possible, managing a strong victory against Desportivo das Aves ( 5-1) and Sporting in Alvalade (3-2). After that, Rio Ave had the round one delayed match and split the points by drawing 1-1 against Vitória de Guimarães, in a balanced game in the first half that made life harder for the "Vila Condenses" at the first quarter-hour of the second half with the expulsion of Toni Borevkovic. Until the end, Vitoria took over the reins of the game and Rio Ave sought to secure the point that they would eventually add.
