Rio Ave vs Tondela Preview

Rio Ave’s poor start to the new season continued as they recorded their fifth draw in as many games this season last weekend. The hosts were outplayed by Famalicao on all fronts in their recent outing, as both teams played out a barren draw. Defensively, they conceded 28 shots in that game and had to rely on their goalkeeper on numerous occasions to bail them out.

On home front, Sotiris Sylaidopoulos’ side drew their first two matches, and lost 3-0 to Porto in their recent one. If there’s a place where they can get their first win, Estadio do Rio Ave FC is that place, as they have the backing of the home crowd.

Meanwhile, Tondela ended their winless start to the season last weekend as they bagged their first victory in the league following their promotion from the second division. The visitors held their own from the beginning of the game, but had to wait till the 60th minute to break the deadlock. A penalty loss and two goals in the first 18 minutes of the second half ensured that they were on the way to victory. However, they would concede a goal in the 76th minute to half the lead.

Building on this victory will be head coach Ivo Vieira’s plan as they look to record successive domestic victories for the first time since April. This is Tondela’s fifth away game of the season, they won one and lost three of the previous four.

Rio Ave vs Tondela Prediction

Considering the overall performance of the two teams this season, we back Rio Ave to win this match. The hosts’ may not have any win to their names yet but their draws show their fighting spirit and resilience. In attack, Rio Ave have scored more goals (8) than Tondela’s (4), this shows that they have the resilience and attacking prowess to grind out a victory.

Lastly, we anticipate over 2.5 goals because the last five head-to-head meetings between the two teams averaged 3 goals per game and Rio Ave’s last five games averaged 2.6 goals per game.
