Rio Ave - Estoril betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Estoril can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Rio Ave on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Rio Ave are coming off from a narrow Sporting CP home defeat last time out. Their fans did not have any expectations but things did change when their team managed to get a tied result at halftime. In the end, the home supporters rightfully rewarded their squad with applause despite the narrow defeat.

Estoril’s spirits should be high after their latest Primeira Liga performance. Most bookmakers online favoured the away team, Boavista. After a poor first half, Estoril managed to snag a surprising 2:1 win.

Whenever we see a match at Estádio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube it seems to be a good chance for Under 5 Goals bets. The way Rio Ave have been playing is the main culprit here – their two previous home games ended with barely any goals in total.

Away matches for Estoril are often a good chance to go for something like an Under 5 Goals bet. Their previous two away games both ended up confirming it – none of them contained more than a single goal in total.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.67 odds offered by William Hill.
