Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the victory of Sporting. We believe that the leonine team will beat with some difficulty Rio Ave, as they have a top squad compared to their opponent. Besides, the lack of weapons of the home team will be crucial to the outcome of this match in favor of the players of Jorge Jesus. It’s also important to note that Sporting want to forget as quickly as possible the defeat of the last match. So, a bet in favor of Sporting this match, the current leader of the competition, is full of value.
