Rio Ave earned 19 points in 15 rounds and took 7th place in the standings. The team turned out to be stronger than the opponent in five matches, four games ended with an equal score, and the club lost in six matches. Rio Grande scored 17 goals and conceded the same number of goals into its net. In the last match, Rio Ave could not beat Maritimo (0:1). The club played seven times in the foreign arena and scored eight points. In the third round of the League Cup, the team lost to Gil Vicente (0:1). And in the 1/8 finals of the Portuguese Cup, Rio Ave defeated Marinense (2-0).
Since 1999, clubs performed on the same pitch four times. Santa Clara triumphed in three meetings, and Rio Ave won one game. Both teams cannot boast of high scoring, and they play well in defense. Therefore, I do not expect many goals in their head-to-head match. Bet: Under 2 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored
