THE PREDICTION

Rio Ave have claimed just one point from their last five Primeira Liga matches as they continue to slide further down the league table and they have conceded 10 goals in that time. In contrasting form, Portimonense have taken seven of their total 12 points from 12 matches played over their last five games and have really tightened up their defences. However, Portimonense’s recent successes have all come at home and a four-match losing streak on the road does not breed confidence here for either side. Rio Ave have won the last two matches at home to Portimonense 2-1 and are unbeaten in this match-up since 2018. Therefore, draw no bet in favour of the hosts and less than both teams to score could be a useful combination here.
