Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Braga and Rio Ave go head to head at Estadio Municipal de Braga in what is expected to be a very exciting game. Braga made a slow start to the season, but they have been making progress week by week, and, as a result, they sit in top four ahead of the visit of Rio Ave. The Reds were impressive in November, but they head into Tuesday’s clash following a 2-1 loss to Belenenses.
Rio Ave, on the other hand, have established themselves as a top-table side in the Portuguese elite division. The visitors sit in the 9th position in the standings ahead of the trip to Braga, but they have been anything but impressive in front of goal in the first half of the season. Since Rio Ave have netted no more than five goals in the Primeira Liga this term, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise.
