FC Porto welcome the visitors Rio Ave F.C. in the Portuguese Primeira Liga – Round 14. The match will be held on Sunday, December 23rd, at the Estadio do Dragao (Porto).
There is no doubt in the leader’s win. The only alarming fact is that FC Porto have been leaking in yet 4 successive rounds. The Taca de Portugal match and 7 goals in the clash with Moreirense were especially pleasing. If a team always play attacking football, they normally feature some defense issues. Porto have been victorious in 14 consecutive rounds, losing in 8 of those. So, a goal by the visiting side would not be a surprise, the hosts, however, will easily score 2 or 3 times (yet in the first half maybe). And they cannot drop points by all means.

Rio Ave F.C. are not that bad. Should their tally be better than just 2 points attained in the last 5 rounds, the guests would catch up with the top-four. The team are effective – their 2 goals to Sporting’s net in the Cup match did not bring a draw yet. The ‘Rioavistas’ have been scoring in 7 games in a row, this is the second league team that produce over 2.5 goals; but their defense has been leaking lately. Rio Ave miss in outings a lot. Currently, they find themselves 5th in the standings.
An entertaining match is expected. 3 goals would be logical. The teams were effective in their head-to-heads. In our view, the guests will not ‘park the bus’ tomorrow, though this could be a nice idea after their meeting with Sporting. Porto’s blistering attack is evident from their Champions League performance. The hosts themselves can produce over 2.5 goals. Our assumption is that the match will see at least 3 goals. The bet on Both teams to score looks winning.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals.
