Vizela - Rio Ave predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Vizela on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The visiting team knows that beating Vizela on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

A Sporting Braga defeat away from home at a game they expected to lose heavily is not exactly a big disappointment for Vizela. They managed to keep their rivals at bay for 45 minutes and only allow one goal to seal their fate after the break.

The away team got dangerously close to beating the odds in their most recent matchup against Arouca, but it wasn’t meant to be. The odds Rio Ave winning were relatively long considering they were playing home, but they pulled ahead before halftime. Ultimately, though, they had to settle for a single point for a 1:1 home draw.

Vizela have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Primeira Liga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

This will not be an easy match for the hosts, but they’ll want to come out on top. We’re nearing the end of the season, and they need 2 points if they wish to avoid relegation.

Even though we’ve seen Vizela and Rio Ave clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.10 at Betway.
