Rio Ave Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Each one with its objective, the teams of Rio Ave and Benfica will only be interested in winning the three points in this match. In the pursuit of Famalicão, the Vila do Conde's team has already become accustomed to facing any opponent “eye to eye”, so it is expected a divided and balanced game, against a Benfica in crisis and extremely pressured to give a positive answer. In view of the offensive quality of the two sets and the defensive problems that must create each other, a match is expected with a reasonable number of goal opportunities for both.

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 59 points won, after 19 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

The Benfica team is going through a serious crisis of results, which caused it to lose an advantage in the leadership that already reached seven points. Current vice-leader, with two points behind the rival FC Porto, the team technically led by Bruno Lage only won one of the last 10 games for all competitions. After returning from the championship, Benfica failed to add more than two out of six possible points. In the resumption, the team from Lisbon drew zero in the reception to Tondela. Last Wednesday, they again had a compromising slip, drawing 2-2 against Portimonense, in a game in which Pizzi (18') and André Almeida (31') had built up a two-goal advantage in the first half. With a very poor second time at all levels, the “eagles” would allow the Algarve's team to recover, delaying in the fight for the title.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Francisco Ferreira, Rúben Dias, Nuno Tavares, Tomas Tavares, Rafa Silva, Pizzi, Gabriel Pires, Adel Taarabt, Julian Weigl, Dyego Sousa.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
