Our Best Predictions and Betting Tips for Rio Ave vs Sporting
Sporting to Win
In this type of match, being a home team is very important. Rio Ave’s first two duels were away games, in the first one they drew, and in the second one they lost, but they were close to victory.
This time The Canaries will have the support of their fans, so we expect them to play even better. We predict that the home team will give away the first defeat to Torreense.
Over 2.5 Goals
In The Canaries’ last game there were a total of 5 goals, so it is likely that in this one there will be at least three. The home team scored two goals and had more chances to achieve even more.
The away team won 1-0 on the previous matchday, but the goal difference could have been wider as they scored repeatedly. Considering all the data, we expect both teams to make a lot of offensive plays.
BTTS
Despite leading the group, Sporting has been the first to concede goals in 5 of their last 6 games, so it won’t be unusual if they don’t keep a clean sheet in this one. The Canaries conceded three goals in the previous match. We predict that there will be goals in both goals.
Rio Ave vs Sporting Preview: Stopping The Leader’s Unbeaten Streak
Rio Ave
The Vilacondenses had a lot of problems winning their previous match against Maritimo. The Greatest of the Islands lost one of their players in the first half, and from that moment Rio Ave took control of the match.
In the second half, The Vilacondenses generated many scoring chances but had little effectiveness. Rio Ave’s coach was only happy in the 90th minute when one of his players finally sent the ball into the back of the net.
Sporting
Ruben Amorim’s team had a great result in their first match against Farense. After a few weeks without action, Sporting’s players jumped on the field with a lot of intensity.
In the first half alone, The Lions scored three goals, two by Paulinho and one by Marcus Edwards. In the second half, Farense’s defense did not improve, so The Lions scored three more, with goals by Pedro Goncalves, Arthur Gomez, and Mateus Fernandez.
