Rio Ave - Famalicão predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Rio Ave on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

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.

Although Rio Ave are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Sporting Braga , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Famalicão failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Nacional despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 0:0.

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.

Famalicão are here after a set of rather low-scoring events. The past two matches both ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals betting market and this is something to be taken into consideration ahead of this fixture.

While the first few rounds of this season were not exactly great for Rio Ave, they’re not in the relegation zone yet. There’s plenty of time left, so they have time to record better results – though overcoming this matchup is no easy feat.

While Famalicão enter round 8 in the upper half of the table, they’ll definitely want to climb up. There’s plenty of time left in the season to do so, though matchups like Rio Ave won’t make their lives any easier.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.80. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
