Sporting CP Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Both teams will seek to react to their respective defeats in the Cup, after a few days to clear their minds. Sporting, as a better team and playing at home, should try to take over the game, which could create difficulties for the defense of Rio Ave, which has been in bad shape. On the other hand, the Vila-Condenses have an offensive quality to be able to injure the “lions” in its defense, not least because Sporting has not been as cohesive in this regard as at other times of the season. It is anticipated, therefore, that both will be able to create good opportunities to score.

In the last round, the team led by coach Ruben Amorim registered the fourth consecutive victory in the championship, winning on the visit to Nacional's stadium (2-0), with goals from Nuno Santos (43 ') and Jovane Cabral (90'), in a particularly difficult game due to the poor condition of the pitch.
