Paços de Ferreira - Rio Ave betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Rio Ave. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

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

The hosts will be keen to forget their previous Primeira Liga game. Paços de Ferreira thought they were onto something after a tied first half but it all came for nothing after the break. Ultimately, a Chaves drubbing is nothing to show off with.

Rio Ave are coming off from a narrow home defeat against Vitória Guimarães. Most bookmakers online anticipated the 0:1 result, but it should be mentioned that they went toe-to-toe with Vitória Guimarães for the first 45 minutes.

The first step Paços de Ferreira need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Primeira Liga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Rio Ave. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

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.

Playing a somewhat risky Home Win bet is the best move for this particular matchup. The odds of 2.25 are good in terms of value, but you need to keep in mind that success is by no means guaranteed.
