Match Time & Date:

11:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Rio Ave will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Vitoria Guimaraes and Pacos Ferreira when they take on Famalicao on the last day of the season. Rio Ave suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching Famalicao in front of home fans. Joca remains on the sidelines with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Famalicao are eager to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Porto and seeing that both sides will not pay too much attention on defence, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Theo Fonseca is out of contention with an ACL injury, while Luis Rodriguez is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
