Ferreira take on the visitors Rio Ave at “Estadio da Capital do Movel” in the matchday 33 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The game will be played in Pacos de Ferreira on Monday, May 7th.
With two rounds left till the end of the season, Ferreira find themselves in the horrible tournament situation. The side is sitting on the pre-last position in the elite division table with 29 points gained and 32-56 goal difference after 32 encounters conducted, meaning that “Os Castores” desperately need to collect points if they want to stay with the elite division for the next season. It should be noted that the club recorded six victories, five draws and five defeats in 16 home tackles. It is also worth mentioning that five out of nine tackles played by Ferreira in this year ended with under 2.5 scored goals.

Meanwhile, Rio Ave look rather solid and consistent in this season. The team could oppose to the Portuguese grands, but it was not strong enough to do that. “Rio Grande” picked up 47 points with 39-42 goal difference in 32 clashes played. The club has no tournament incentives left as it is 28 points away from the fourth place in the Primeira Liga standings. Rio Ave demonstrate extremely weak football on the road. The side has lost seven latest battles at away grounds with 22:3 aggregated score while its latest away victory dated by the 14th of January.
Taking into consideration the mentioned above as well as rivals’ motivation, I believe that the hosts will succeed in the forthcoming head-to-head in one way or other.
Prediction for the match: Ferreira to win. Draw with under 2.5 scored goals.
