Porto Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Due to the superior technical quality and theoretical obligation to grab the three points, it is expected a match initially dominated by FC Porto, who should try to get strong and score early, in order to manage the physical effort in the final stretch. Rio Ave will debut under the command of a new coach, in a match in which they have nothing to lose, not least because the pressure will be almost all on the side of the “dragons”, so they can, especially in the end, try to risk a little more , with enough quality to take advantage of the defensive instability of the blue-and-white team.

The FC Porto team did not start the championship well and is, therefore, out of the leadership they want in Liga NOS, but has been recovering the ground lost in the last few days. At the entrance to the 16th round of the championship, Sérgio Conceição's team is 2nd place, with 35 points, two more than Benfica and four less than Sporting, two teams that face each other in this round. Last Friday, the FC Porto team beat Gil Vicente 2-0 in Barcelos and qualified for the Portuguese Cup semi-finals. In the last round of the championship, the "dragons" won at Farense's home (0-1, Taremi's goal, at 15'), returning to the victories three matches later with a good performance, where the team wasted several chances to escape the hardship they had to endure in the final stretch.

In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Sporting CP, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Santa Clara, by (1‑2).

Rio Ave is making a campaign far below expectations to be able to fight for the qualification for the European competitions and arrives in this round as 10th place, with only 15 points in as many matches, and an advantage of only two points for the relegation zone. Following the departure of Mário Silva, the team was handed over to Pedro Cunha, but the lack of consistency and the defeat of the last round (1-2, against Santa Clara) was the last straw in the patience of the Vila-Condense leadership. This Friday, the club introduced Miguel Cardoso as the new coach of the Rio Ave team, a team he knows well and a home he is returning to a few years later.

Confirmed Lineup: Pawel Kieszek, Toni Borevković, Aderllan Santos, Ivo Pinto, Fábio Coentrão, Filipe Augusto, Tarantini, Pelé, Carlos Mané, Ronan, Gelson.
Coach: L. Batalha Freire.
