Rio Ave are under pressure in the battle for survival, but they will try to take advantage of their home advantage against the last-placed team. The team has five wins and only two losses in 13 home matches so far, and their last victory against Boavista dates back to November, when they won 2-0 away. Despite being on a three-game losing streak, they remain six points above the relegation zone.
Boavista with three consecutive defeatsTheir opponent is in an even more unfavorable position. Boavista are in last place and are eight points away from the safety zone. They have lost their last three matches, including a 1-3 loss at home against Gil Vicente in the last round. Away games are a serious problem - the team has not won away since November, and their last six visits were all losses. Furthermore, Boavista have not scored against Rio Ave in their last three meetings.
Bet on Rio Ave to win and over 2.5 goalsGiven the form of the visitors and the stable home performances of Rio Ave, a home win in a high-scoring match seems like a reasonable prediction.
