Liga Portugal 1-FC Porto VS Rio Ave

 

 

Team Analysis:

Porto ensured they remained within touching distance of league leaders Benfica as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Farense, having gone seven games in a row without defeat in all competitions, picking up one draw and six wins, including a 4-0 win over Estoril Praia in the fifth round of the Taca de Portugal on January 9.

 

Rio Ave have now failed to taste victory in three games in a row, picking up two points from a possible nine, and have won just one of their last nine games since mid-November.

With 17 points from their 19 Primeira Liga games, Vilacondenses currently sit 16th in the league standings, four points above bottom-placed Vizela and one point behind Estrela Amadora just above the dotted line.

 

odds analysis:

Porto will be at their best when they face a Rio Ave side who struggled to impose themselves on their journey. Both form and history are on their side, this weekend and back them to claim all three points unscathed.

 

Conclusion:

score prediction 2-0 3-0.
