Rio Ave will be looking to move closer to safety in the Portuguese Primeira Liga when they come up against AFS. Ahead of this game, Rio Ave are 11th while AFS are stuck at the bottom of the league standings. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
For either side, there is so much to play for here. Having managed 33 points, Rio Ave are eight points above the drop zone with five matches to play.
Safety isn’t guaranteed yet, and they will be targeting three points here. That shouldn’t be a problem for the hosts, who have won four of their last five games, most recently beating Santa Clara 2-0.
AFS lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture played early in December, and they come here firmly as the underdogs. The visitors are winless in two matches against Rio Ave, and it won’t help them either that they’ve failed to win any of their latest seven matches.
Their last win dates back to mid-February, which also happens to be the only victory in their last 16 games. Last time out, AFS played out a 1-1 draw with Vitoria Guimaraes.
Incredibly, that was the fourth time in six matches that they avoided defeat. However, all four were draws. They’ve not just struggled to win games in the league (1W, 9D, 19L); they also scored the least, 19.

Our Rio Ave vs AVS Futebol SAD Prediction
Rio Ave have been on a good run lately, with the only blemish to their last five matches being the loss against Alverca. They are coming off a win in Santa Clara, where they also kept a third clean sheet in six matches.
Rio Ave will be up against a side that has only scored once this season and is even the lowest-scoring in the league. Such has cost AFS massively this season, and their fate is no longer in their hands. Our prediction for Rio Ave v AFS is for Rio Ave to win to nil.
