Prediction

  • The 2-2 draw with Chaves hands Rio Ave a slight chance of securing European Football next season, but for that to happen, they need to get a win here. At home they have been great under Castro and have only lost to champions Benfica at the Estadio dos Arcos. Petrovic's return is also important for their balance.
  • Belenenses drew last time out and are now unbeaten in the last two. Domingos Paciencia is assessing his team for next season and, without much on the line, will give game time to youngsters and fringe players here.
  • Rio Ave have the stronger team, are great at home and need the win, which they should get.
