Moreirense hosts Rio Ave in round 26 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Friday, June 12th at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas (Moreira de Conegos)
Having 33 points scored, Moreirense is located in the eighth position and can still claim a place in European cups. The team lags 10 points behind the coveted 4th place, but it will not be so easy to eliminate such a gap in the remaining matches. However, Moreirense invariably gained points in the last seven matches in a row. Four victories and three draws in those matches inspire optimism, and I even want to see the team in the Europa League. Primarily, the success was gained due to an extremely accurate game in defense. In these seven matches, Over 3.0 goals scored took place only one. And Moreirense did not concede in the last two matches at all.

Rio Ave still has chances of taking a place in the Europa League. In the last match, the team unexpectedly lost to one of the outsiders Pacos in the home arena (2:3). But we should take into account the fact that Pacos is currently hanging on the borderline of the relegation zone, and the team’s motivation was beyond the limit. Despite the first defeat after the break, Ave continues to struggle and is unlikely to allow such oversights in the second match in a row. You should not expect many goals scored and such a shootout as happened in the last match. In principle, Ave didn’t arrange goal extravaganza before the last match, and I think we won’t see a hail of goals scored in the upcoming game.
It will be the meeting of neighbors in the standings, and I won’t start looking for a favorite. Bookmakers consider visitors a small favorite, although the coefficient on them is quite large. The price of a mistake will be great, especially for the hosts. As a rule, opponents play defense first in such matches. In my opinion, Under 3.0 goals scored is a good option, although the coefficient is not so high.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
