THE PREDICTION

Maritimo brought their three-match losing streak to an end last time out as they scraped a much-needed 1-0 win over Belenenses. That saw them move clear of the relegation places and the one major advantage they have over their relegation rivals is the fact they have an in-form goalscorer in Rodrigo Pinho. They make the trip to face Rio Ave here and they will hope to take advantage of the vulnerable hosts who lost 3-0 at Sporting Braga just before Christmas. That should see the hosts go back to basics here and try prioritise a clean sheet. With at least one side failing to score in Rio Ave’s last seven league games, this is a good candidate for backing against both teams scoring here.
