THE PREDICTION
Porto have taken full advantage of Benfica's dip in form and now sit top of the Primeira Liga. They have won their last six matches and despite Rio Ave arriving in good form, having avoided defeat in their last eight league games, Porto should be too good even if both teams are likely to score.
