Prediction

  • Rio Ave beat Casa Pia last weekend to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup. Petit's men are in good form, having gone 3 games without losing, in which they won 2.
  • Sporting lost the League Cup on penalties to Benfica, which was a blow to their confidence. Nevertheless, the team seems to be improving under Rui Borges and will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the league.
  • Rio Ave haven't lost in Vila do Conde for a year and three months. In that time, they've held Benfica and Sporting to a draw. Given the team's good form, it's possible they'll achieve the same feat, not least because Sporting might have an eye on their crucial Champions League game midweek.
