Prediction

  • FC Porto are enjoying a wonderful run of form lately as they won every match from their last 4, scoring 14 goals during this period. They're still 5 points behind the top of the league, but remain on the hunt for 1st place.
  • Rio Ave FC conceded a late goal that kept them from getting all three points against Estoril last time around. The 'Vilacondenses' haven't won a single match in the last 4 games.
  • The hosts have a far better team and had more time to prepare for this match, which will probably give them a routine home win here.
