Prediction

  • Santa Clara achieved a huge victory last weekend by beating Sporting 1-0 away from home. Defensive organisation was key to picking up three valuable points, making this the club's best ever start in Liga Portugal.
  • Rio Ave had a bit of luck last weekend, beating Moreirense 3-2. The team led 2-0, let themselves be equalised and came close to losing, but an individual error by their opponents allowed them to take all three points. Petit' men need to improve if they want to stretch their 2-match winning run.
  • Rio Ave are unbeaten in the last three meetings between the two sides, but that doesn't mean this won't change on Saturday. In fact, if the Vilacondenses don't improve on their defensive process, it's very likely that Santa Clara will pick up another three points.
