Marítimo - Rio Ave betting tips and odds

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Marítimo will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Rio Ave.

While Rio Ave may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.20 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Marítimo are coming off of a harsh lesson in their home game against Vitória Guimarães. They went into that game with confidence and the support of playing as hosts but barely managed to get off the ground. After quickly falling behind in the first half, they eventually had to settle for a 1:2 defeat.

Rio Ave are coming on the back of a narrow 1:0 home win against Arouca in the previous round of the Primeira Liga. The odds were in their favour from the get-go, though, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 2.35.

With Rio Ave_GOALS_CONCEDED goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Rio Ave's backline has much to be wished for

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect Rio Ave to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

Rio Ave and Marítimo tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Marítimo are still considered more likely to come out on top this Sunday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.4 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
