Betting on F.C. Famalicão
Famaliçao has just lost its ninth match of the season, by a score of 4-1 against Porto, which cut short two consecutive victories. It now has five wins, two draws and nine defeats in 16 games and is 14th in the Primeira Liga table.
The team has lacked consistency this season, but at least at home has made its home ground count, as four of its five victories have come here. They have three wins in their last five home games, with the most recent victory coming in the most recent match by a score of 2-1 against Vizela.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Luiz Júnior; Francisco Moura, Enea Mihaj, Riccieli, Alexandre Penetra; Santiago Colombatto, Gustavo Assunçᾶo; Iván Jaime, Ivo Rodrigues, Pablo Felipe; Rui Fonte.
Betting on Rio Ave F.C
Rio Ave has better numbers than its next opponent, but also comes from losing its previous match, by a score of 0-1 against Paços Ferreira. They have a record of five wins, five draws and six defeats in 16 games and will face this match on a three-game winless streak with two draws and one loss.
A win in this match could help them climb to the top half of the standings, as they are currently in tenth place with 20 points. Although they have just one win in eight away games – along with four draws and three defeats – they have not lost in their last two games and have managed to keep a clean sheet in both.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Jhonatan; Josué Sá, Aderllan Santos, Patrick William; Costinha, Andreas Samaris, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Paulo Vitor; Miguel Baeza, Emmanuel Boateng; Leonardo Ruiz.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these teams faced each other was in February 2021 and ended in a 0-1 victory in favor of Famaliçao. At this moment, the present of each team is not enough to tip the balance to one side, so it is most likely that the score will be equal.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 0-0.
