AVS - Rio Ave predictions

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 2.98. AVS will indeed find it very hard to beat Rio Ave here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

Rio Ave are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. AVS are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

AVS’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Vitória Guimarães as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for AVS.

Rio Ave are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous Primeira Liga matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Primeira Liga outings.

The hosts only managed to accrue 3 points up until round 13, which landed them right in the relegation zone. The first step towards a better outcome for this season would be to win this challenging matchup.

Rio Ave are currently 11th on the Primeira Liga table, just 4 points above the relegation zone. Most of the season is still ahead of us, though, which leaves plenty of room for them to climb up – or drop down, for that matter.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
