Vizela Preview
Vizela comes into this new game after losing to Sporting Lisbon on the last matchday by a score of 2-1, a result that keeps them in ninth position with 21 points, 6 points clear of the last playoff spot in the Conference League.
One of the aspects they must work on if they want to continue aspiring to European tournaments is to optimize their performance at home, as they have only won 3 of the 8 matches they have played in this condition, losing 4 and drawing 1.
However, their fans are optimistic ahead of this match against Rio Ave, an opponent they managed to beat in the first round of the season by 0-1.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Fabijan Buntic; Anderson, Bruno Wilson, Mohamed Aidara; Igor Julião, Raphael Guzzo, Samu, Kiki; Nuno Moreira, Milutin Osmajic, Kiko Bondoso.
Rio Ave Preview
Rio Ave has the same number of points as Vizela, but is in tenth place in the standings on goal differential. Their performance has not been the best in recent days, which has led them to be winless in the last four games (three draws and one loss).
One of the biggest problems the club is having is the lack of goals in matches, not only because they are the second team in the top 10 of the overall table with the fewest goals, but also because they have not scored in any of their 3 most recent matches.
Away from home they have not performed well this campaign either, winning only one of the nine matches played (5 draws, 3 defeats).
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Jhonatan; Aderllan Santos, Aderllan Santos, Josué Sá, Patrick William; Costinha, Andreas Samaris, Guga, Paulo Vitor; Hernâni, Leonardo Ruiz, Emmanuel Boateng.
JefeBet Prediction
The last 3 clashes between these two teams have ended with less than 3 goals in the final score. This trend that may continue to extend this Sunday if we consider the current level of both teams.
The visitors have had a deplorable performance in the offensive department, in addition to the fact that their matches tend to have few emotions reflected on the scoreboard. On the contrary, Vizela’s duels have been back and forth, with several goals in the 90 minutes.
However, considering the recent history between the two, it is expected to be a match that, if it goes either way, will be by a minimal difference in the final result.
Prediction: Under (VIZ 1-0 RIO).
