Académica Rio Ave betting prediction

Betting suggestion:

Briosa needs to grab the three points to design an escape strategy from the downhill spots, but life will not be easy. Even so, it is expected that the “students” take possession of the ball and have more volume of play, but not always making good decisions. On the other hand, the visitors must look for the defensive weaknesses of the home team to get the advantage in the marker. Based on these factors, we will bet on “over 2 goals”.

Renat Dadashov scored the only goal of the match in the 96th minute. The visitors created good opportunities to at least get a draw, but nerves got in the way when finishing.
For this match, away from home, coach Luís Freire should keep the team in 4-4-2, favoring defensive organization and quick attacks through the wings. Aziz and Pedro Mendes should be the main figures in the visitors' attack. In turn, the central corridor should be formed by Joca, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Vítor Gomes and Sávio.
