Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Nacional will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes when they take on Rio Ave on Matchday 33. Nacional are nine points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they have nothing to play for in Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Fuki Yamada is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Guimaraes, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Rioavistas, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Estrela. Rio Ave are stuck in the middle of the table, meaning that they will be with guards down in Saturday’s game as well. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. In the first half of the season, Rio Ave defeated Nacional 2-1, which definitely supports our betting prediction. Greek forward Marious Vrousai is banned for the visiting team.
