THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a goalless draw away to Portimonense last weekend which means they are now winless in eight matches. That run means that Rio Ave have slipped into a relegation battle. They come up against a Sporting side that are inching towards clinching their first title in over 15 years and they remain unbeaten. Given Rio have quite a poor home record, only three sides have won fewer matches than them, the visitors will come into this as comfortable favourites to make it 31 games this season without a defeat.
