THE PREDICTION
With no wins in their last four league games and just three points accumulated from the last 12 available to them, Rio Ave are starting to look nervously over their shoulder with just four points separating them from the bottom three. Victory here over Sporting Braga would go a long way towards them easing their worries, although that will prove a difficult task with Braga fourth in the table having lost just one of their last 12 league games. Games involving Braga normally see goals, with seven of their last nine matches in all competitions containing over 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes. The same outcome has to be favoured vs Rio Ave, especially when considering that the hosts drew 3-3 in a thrilling encounter with Boavista last time out.
