Betting on Clube Desportivo Santa Clara
Winning this game involves a step closer to salvation, but the problem lies on the fact that it does not win even by default. It is on a five-game losing streak and in its performance has looked pretty bad in each game, conceding 11 goals and scoring only 3.
The defense is a disaster, and even though Jorge Simao came in for the rescue, he could not do much and was dismissed. Therefore, Luis Morgado replaced him, but it lost in his debut, without being able to change the course of the team.
However, there was a little light in the darkness. The first thing Morgado did in the lost 1-0 against Paços Ferreira was to sort out the team’s defensive disorder. As a result, it only conceded one goal.
Possible Lineup (5-4-1): Gabriel Batista; Nanú, Ygor Nogueira, Adriano Firmino, Paulo Henrique, Matheus Araujo; Allano, Kento Misao, Bruno Jordao, Rildo, Walter González.
Betting on Rio Ave Futebol Clube
Rio Ave has been climbing up the rankings recently, aiming to enter some European competition. Despite not having a real consistency as a team, it is on a step by step journey to win a ticket for international competitions. In fact, it is 9 points away from the international competition places.
It has won 3 games of the last 5 games, although none in a row. It is important to point out that all recent victories have been at home.
Furthermore, it has suffered so much on the road that out of 12 games away from the comfort of its home, it has won only one. It is one of the Portugal worst visitors. To start thinking about international games, you have to first win outside Villa do Conde.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Jhonatan; Renato Pantalon, Aderllan Santos, Josué Sá, Costinha, Andreas Samaris, Gonçalo Rodríguez, Fabio Ronaldo; Joao Graça, André Pereira, Emmanuel Boateng.
JefeBet Prediction
Rio Ave away looks similar to Santa Clara, but Santa Clara everywhere is Santa Clara. The Rioavistas will claim the three points that will bring it a little closer to the Conference League.
Prediction: Santa Clara 0-1 Rio Ave.
