THE PREDICTION

Two mid-table sides in fairly stable form makes for a tough result to call between Rio Ave on 26 points and Belenenses a point behind. The hosts are two matches unbeaten after a creditable 1-1 draw at Moreirense last time out whilst Belenenses beat rock-bottom Farense last Saturday to bounce back from a hefty 0-3 defeat by Benfica. Goals could be at a premium in this match if their last two meetings are to go by, both ending 0-0 and Rio Ave are unbeaten in this fixture over the last eight editions. All that suggests draw no bet in favour of the hosts and less than 2.5 goals scored could be a good combination here.
