Rio Ave aim to build on a 2-1 win over AFS, but given their negative H2H record against Vitoria Guimaraes, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 away win. Os Rioavistas welcome Vitoria Guimaraes in a match that could be important for both sides. The hosts have been inconsistent, earning 1.3 points per game this season, with a 30% win rate and averaging 1.2 goals scored per match while conceding 1.5. Midfielder Andreas Ntoi is suspended for Rio Ave, and Bakoulas is sidelined, though he isn’t a key starter.
The visitors, on the other hand, are in strong form with 1.9 points per game and a 60% win rate. Their attack averages 1.5 goals per match while conceding just 0.9, and Goncalo Nogueira’s absence is unlikely to affect them much. Historical head-to-head stats favor the visitors: Guimaraes have won 15 of the last 30 clashes, compared to 6 Rio Ave victories, with 9 draws. Over 1.5 goals has occurred in 63% of meetings, but BTTS is lower at 47%.
Given Guimarae's superior recent form and H2H record, Away Win is our main betting choice for this clash. Guimaraes to Keep a Clean Sheet market boast big value due to their strong defensive record (conceding only 0.9 per game) as well as Under 2.5 goals.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 18:00.
