Command Analysis
Rio Ave
Rio Ave took 13th place in the standings in the last national championship and is a typical average Portuguese football player. The team did not qualify for the European Cup, and the squad is less experienced than the opponents from the top 4. The new season for Luis Freira's players started with a defeat against Gil Vicente. Playing with ten players from the beginning of the second half, the team conceded the only goal from the penalty spot, which decided the outcome of the match – 0:1 in the end.
FC Porto
Porto won the championship last season and made it to the main stage of the main European tournament, where they will defend their country. The Dragons scored 28 victories thanks to brilliant actions both in defense (conceded only 18 goals) and in the attacking line – 66 goals were scored. The team also won the Portuguese Super Cup, beating Torrenshe 1-0. In the first round of the new season, the wards of the Italian specialist Francesco Farioli met with Alverka and were able to win a landslide victory with a score of 2:0.
We will give preference to the club from Porto. The Dragons are in great shape, won the Portuguese Super Cup and started the championship with a landslide victory. Porto has an excellent defensive and attacking line, as evidenced by zero goals conceded and three goals scored in the last two matches. Francesco Farioli's teamwill enter the field solely to win, and they have no right to lose points at the start. We believe that the guests will take advantage of the experience and beat Rio Ave in class with a difference of several goals, as in the last two face-to-face matches out of the last four.
The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Porto with a coefficient of 2.18
In 3 of the last 5 meetings, the guests won with a "dry" score.
