The Primeira Liga match sees Rio Ave welcome Braga to Estádio do Rio Ave on Saturday. Braga are looking to consolidate their place in Europe with another win. Rio Ave will be looking to climb further on the table.

Rio Ave come into this match following a 0-0 league draw against Moreirense last weekend. Rio Ave had only 48% possession and recorded 3 shots with 1 on target. Their opponent had 19 shots with 2 of them on target.

Rio Ave have scored a total of 6 goals in their last 6 games and conceded 6 in those fixtures.

It’s important to note that Rio Ave haven’t beaten Braga in their last five 5 league games. They are unbeaten in their last 7 league games on home soil.

Braga is coming into this match from the back of a 3-0 Liga win over Estrela in their most recent fixture. A game they managed the Lion share of possession and created 20 attempts with 10 on target. Braga’s goals were scored by Simon Banza, Bruma and Roger Fernandes.

It’s important to note that Braga have not lost to Rio Ave in away matches for the last 2 league matches.

Rio Ave vs Braga Prediction

Going by head-to-head meeting and form, Braga are highly favoured to win this match. Braga have a better head-to-head record against Rio Ave and currently occupy top four. I am backing away win at 1.78 odd.

Over 2.5 goal emerged in five of the last eight head-to-head meetings. A moth watering 1.80 odd is worth the bet.
