THE PREDICTION

Both Moreiriense and Rio Ave git the job done in 2-0 wins over relegation-threatened sides last Sunday to stay in a comfortable-enough mid-table position in the Primeira Liga. No team below Vitoria Guimaraes on 35 points, in sixth before this weekend’s fixtures, is exactly safe and sound just yet in a very congested league table but this is certainly a mid-table match with little jeopardy. A draw would suit both sides just fine and five draws in Moreirense’s last seven home matches suggests this is a viable outcome here, losing just once in that span to Sporting Braga. Rio Ave have won three of their last five league games to pull away from the direct firing line but their away record does not suggest they can leave with all three points here. Take the outright draw between these mid-table sides, or draw no bet in favour of the hosts and over 2.5 goals scored. Four of the Moreirense’s last five games here have seen at least four goals.
