Porto Preview – Can Porto continue momentum?
Having won eight out of their last nine matches overall in the Portuguese top flight, Monday’s hosts, Porto, sit in 2nd place in the Primeira Liga but with Sporting and Benfica facing each other as well this evening, this may present Porto with the perfect opportunity to close the gap on the league leaders, Sporting.
Porto look a formidable outfit right now as the hosts have also won five of their last six matches at home amidst an overall home record of 6-1-1 19/9, which includes recent wins against Gil Vicente, Portimonense, Tondela, Nacional and Moreirense.
Four of Porto’s six wins have also beaten the -1 asian handicap line too.
Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave bounce back?
A 2-1 loss at home to Santa Clara last time out in the Primeira Liga resulted in Rio Ave dropping down to 12th place on the Portuguese top flight ladder and things don’t get any easier with this upcoming trip to face in-form Porto in their own backyard.
Recent overall results have also been disappointing for Rio Ave who have managed to collect just one win out of their last nine matches, and that came in a 3-0 home win against Portimonense, but results away from home continue to elude them.
Rio Ave are without an away win for five matches, three of which have ended in defeats at Gil Vicente, Sporting Braga and Pacos Ferreira.
