Prediction

  • FC Porto have shown a very interesting attacking dynamic, which has already earned them 3 wins in the 3 matches they've played this season. They beat Santa Clara last time around and are expected to do well again as they return to the Estádio do Dragão.
  • Rio Ave achieved a tangential victory last weekend, beating Farense 1-0. Luís Freire's men still have some aspects to improve on, but the team has shown potential.
  • Given FC Porto's good form and the fact that they're playing in front of their own supporters, it's expected that they'll come away with a comfortable victory against a Rio Ave side that are still under construction.
