Rio Ave have not scored a single goal in their opening two games, and even Estoril have only managed one goal for the season. That is the sort of form that points away from both teams finding the net. They clash this Saturday in the Liga Portugal. See why our Estoril vs Rio Ave match prediction sees at least one clean sheet on Matchday 3.
Os Vila-Condenses have started with two defeats and a blank in each, losing 1-0 at Gil Vicente and 0-2 at home to Porto. Goals had already dried up for the Rioavistas before that, seeing as they've now scored just two goals in their last six league games, going goalless in four. And playing on the road, they're more likely to be the scoreless culprits on Saturday.
Estoril, meanwhile, will fancy their chances of a controlled home win. Os Canarinhos held Famalicão to a 1-1 stalemate on the opening weekend, but followed that up with a goalless 2-0 defeat to Nacional last time out.
In truth, the BTTS bet has won in four of the last five times these two sides faced. However, with only one goal shared between Estoril and Rio Ave over four opening games, Saturday night should be a rare outlier.

Our Estoril vs Rio Ave Prediction
Rio Ave just cannot find a goal right now, and it's no surprise given their latest league trend. With two goalless games for the season, Os Vila-Condenses has now failed to score in four of their last six league games, netting just two goals.
Estoril themselves have only managed a single goal, but couldn't crack Nacional open in their 1-0 defeat. Given just how bad both are in front of goal at the moment, a clean sheet from either or both sides is most likely. Hence, our Estoril vs Rio Ave match prediction is BTTS No.
