Moreirense - Rio Ave predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.05, the bookies made it clear that Moreirense are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

At 4.48 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Rio Ave are well aware of it themselves.

Moreirense will be hoping to notch another win after recording a rather surprising Gil Vicente away win in the Primeira Liga. They held pretty well for the first 45 minutes and pushed an important step forward after the break to record a narrow victory which will be a huge boost for their Sunday fixture.

The previous round of the Primeira Liga saw Rio Ave lose a home game against Boavista to a 0:2 goal difference. The 3.95 betting odds implied it should have been a close call, but they were behind throughout the bout.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Rio Ave lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Though a home win is priced at 2.05, the hosts lost their most recent game against Rio Ave. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Moreirense were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

It’s a tough match to find betting value, but there are options to be found. For example, a Draw/Draw prediction for the HT/FT market rates quite well at odds of 4.46. It’s not what we would call a safe bet, but compares quite well in terms of value.
