Football – Portugal – Primeira Liga Betting Tips

My next pick features two teams who have made a solid start to the new Portuguese Primeira Liga with hosts Vitoria Setubal taking on visitors Rio Ave at the Estadio do Bonfim on Saturday evening with the hosts looking to extend their unbeaten run at home.

In fact, Vitoria Setubal drew their first game of the season which was a home match against Boavista with the result being 2-2, but they did achieve a great 4-0 win away at Academica on Monday night to move up into second place just two points behind early league leaders Arouca.

But it’s very early days with all sides looking to find their feet in the first few weeks of this new campaign, and visitors Rio Ave have also made a good start to their new season as well.

Onto the visitors Rio Ave then, and as mentioned they have also started well with a point earned away from home in a highly entertaining 3-3 draw at Belenenses, which was followed up with a solid 1-0 home win over Sporting Braga last weekend.

They now make the trip to Setubal with both teams remaining unbeaten after the first two league matches of this new term, but looking at Rio Ave’s away form indecent times, they could take something from this match tonight.

Rio Ave have lost just once in their last six away matches (which includes three draws), with the defeat coming at Maritimo in a heavy 4-0 loss. Aside from that though, they’ve registered wins at Penafiel and Belenenses along with stalemates at Academica, Gil Vicente and against Belenenses.

With the Portuguese season still in its infancy, I reckon this should be a close encounter between these two sides, and I daresay both teams would be happy to remain unbeaten. This could end up either 0-0 or 1-1 then.

I’ll back the Draw @ 3.10 bet365
