Rio Ave vs FC Porto Predictions

• There have been 3+ goals in seven of Rio Ave’s last ten outings
• Three of Porto’s last five league games have featured 3+ strikes
• Porto’s league games this season average exactly three goals per game

Rio Ave in good form

It has been a good run for Rio Ave, whose goalscoring exploits have carried them to three victories in their last five games, netting at least twice in each win.

Indeed, their last three outings have all contained 3+ goals, as have seven of their last ten matches across all competitions.

Such form has helped pull them clear of the relegation zone, while they have been particularly good at home, losing just once in five outings, with each fixture featuring at least three goals.

Porto in desperate form

That is not good news for visitors Porto, who are not enjoying themselves at the moment, losing four of their last six outings across all competitions.

They are not helped by a pretty wretched defensive record, conceding at least twice in three of their last five away league fixtures.

Martín Anselmi has not been installed as manager, and he won his first game in charge, a 1-0 success against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

However, that was a first clean sheet in six for Porto, who have seen 3+ goals scored in ten of their last 15 league matches.

I predict that there will be 3+ goals in this game, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
