Prediction: 0-0
Rio Ave
Famalicao will look to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Porto when they face Rio Ave on Matchday 17. Famalicao failed to spoil the Dragons’ party at Estadio do Dragao, but they are surely capable of matching Rio Ave in front of home fans. Midfielder Theo Fonseca remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Os Vilacondenses, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Pacos Ferreira. Rio Ave and Famalicao seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the visiting team, both Graca and Aziz are pushing for a start, while Joca remains on the sidelines with injury.
