THE PREDICTION

Under the management of Jorge Simao, Santa Clara come into this on the back of a slender 1-0 loss away to Pacos de Ferreira in their most recent outing, last weekend, in a huge game down at the bottom end of the Primeira Liga table. That result means the hosts now sit bottom-of-the-table ahead of this weekend's round of fixtures. They now face a Rio Ave side that, following promotion last season, earned a 2-1 win at home to ten-man Gil Vicente as they sit in mid-table. A double chance bet in favour of the away team looks the way to go for this one.
