Sporting Lisbon vs Rio Ave Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal
by Daniel Ngulu in Liga Portugal Prediction
Sporting Lisbon will host Rio Ave on Match Week 2 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, with each of the two sides going for three points after dropping points in the opening week. Hosts Sporting had a poor defensive showing in their opening games, leading three times but conceding three goals to settle for a 3-3 draw with Sporting Braga. As a result, they are now winless in four matches and without a clean sheet in the last five. Both teams have scored in four of Sporting’s last five matches but their biggest concern will be the fact that they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches.
In the last five meetings with Sporting, Rio Ave have suffered just one loss, and they’ve won two of the five games. Their most recent meeting was in May 2021, and it ended 2-0 in favour of Sporting, but that’s Rio Ave’s only loss in the last five meetings. In the earlier four meetings both sides scored and going into this game, Rio Ave will hope to improve on their opening 1-0 loss to Vizela. Rio Ave have failed to score in three of their last four matches but they come into this game with three clean sheets in their last five matches. Rio Ave’s scoring run is clearly not great, having failed to score more than a goal in the last four matches.
