Match Outlook
Rio Ave sit 15th in the table going into this one, with Braga 8th. Rio Ave have lost 3 of their last 5 (LLWLD), scoring 7 and conceding 12, and have won 2 of their last 10 at home. Braga have lost 3 of their last 5 (WLLLD), scoring 5 and conceding 6, and have won 4 of their last 10 on the road. Neither side has a key player missing. The main goal threats are J. Blesa (3 goals) for Rio Ave and P. Víctor (5 goals) for Braga. Braga start as favourites (Braga win 54%, draw 23%, Rio Ave win 23%). A fairly typical number of goals is expected, with 0-1 the most likely score.
