Primeira Liga champions Porto will be looking to build on their season-opening win when they travel to Rio Ave on matchday two. Their hosts started off on a losing note and will be looking to make use of home advantage here. Porto have a good run in this fixture, unbeaten in seven, and our prediction backs them for a win.
Rio Ave last won this fixture four years ago, and in their last 39 meetings with Porto, they’ve only managed one clean sheet.
Failure to score in their 1-0 defeat to Gil Vicente last time out didn’t just mark their sixth winless outing, but they’ve also failed to score in half of the six games.
In their latest outing, the Vilacondenses spent most of the second half a man down after Andreas Ntoi’s 47th-minute sending off.
FC Porto easily started their title defence, beating Alverca 2-0 courtesy of two first-half penalties. Alverca proved a tough match, limiting Porto to 54% ball possession, but the champions proved capable of handling the pressure.
Their visitors then had a 1.60 xG while attempting 15 shots – six more than Porto. In the end it was about Porto’s resolute defending that has seen them keep four clean sheets in the last five matches.
Their season commenced with a 1-0 win over Torreense in the Super Cup.

Our Rio Ave vs Porto Prediction
Porto were among the teams that collected maximum points on the opening weekend of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. They are in line for three more as they seek to put up a successful title defence. Their win came after another in the Super Cup, with Porto registering clean sheets in both.
Meanwhile, Rio Ave’s winless record in the league extended to six matches, three of which they failed to score in. They haven’t been scoring much in this fixture either. As such, our prediction for Rio Ave v FC Porto is for Porto to win to nil.
