Porto Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In this match we expect FC Porto to dominate and create the best goal opportunities, but the home team should work hard to postpone the goal as long as possible, so we expect more goals in the second half, since FC Porto should take a few more risks near the end of the match.

Preview
Porto and Rio Ave meet at Estádio Do Dragão, in a match for the 16th round of the Primeira Liga. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 6 head‑to‑heads they won 6. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primeira Liga, on 30‑11‑2014, Porto won by (5‑0). Tello (47' ), J. Martínez (78' ), Alex Sandro (89' ), Óliver Torres (90' ) and Danilo (90' ) scored the goals of the match for Porto. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 2nd and 7th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 1st best team in home matches and the 11th best in away matches.

After 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 36 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Sporting CP by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have won (3‑1) at home, against Académica. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 14 points in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 7 conceded, against 22 points won at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 2 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches Porto has a record of 7 wins and 1 draw, so they have won 22 points out of 24 possible.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

FC Porto comes to this match willing to recover from the loss against rivals Sporting, which cost them the lead of the Portuguese lead. Moreover, they also lost the previous match, against Marítimo, so they come from 2 consecutive losses. Therefore, we expect coach Julen Lopetegui to use the best starting eleven in this match, since they need a win to recover moral and have all players available. The best scorer of the team is Vincent Aboubakar, who scored 11 goals this season.

Confirmed Lineup: Casillas, Maxi Pereira, Miguel Layún, Ivan Marcano, Bruno Martins Indi, Danilo Pereira, André André, Héctor Herrera, Vincent Aboubakar, Jesús Corona, Yacine Brahimi.

In the last match, they lost in a home match against Tondela, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches and 15 points at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 7 goals conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 16 conceded in away matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑1 (3 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 17 of the last 26 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Rio Ave comes to this match after a home loss against Tondela for the Portuguese league. Despite this loss, coach Pedro Martins should use an offensive strategy, to try to steal the ball as close to the opponent’s goal as possible. Moreover, Rio Ave will try to take advantage of the latest negative results of FC Porto to get a positive result. Guedes is the best scorer of the team, with 6 goals scored this season. Tarantini saw a red card in the last match and is therefore suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Cássio, Pedrinho, Edimar Fraga, Marcelo, Roderick Miranda, João Novais, Alhassan Wakaso, Filip Krovinović, Kizito, Ukra, Yazalde.
