THE PREDICTION

Rio Ave’s poor form in the Primeira Liga continued as they were left without a win for the third straight game. That means they have managed just a solitary success in their last ten league outings which is unsustainable if they want to stay out of relegation trouble. Nacional’s own issues look to be improving having earned four points from a possible six after they were victors against Famalicao last time out and will take confidence from that, although they have won just one of their last 18 league games away from home. Neither side can be trusted with any great belief here but Rio Ave are capable of collecting points on home soil and coupled with Nacional’s away record, the hosts should be able to earn at least a point here.
