Rio Ave vs Benfica Preview

Rio Ave are incredibly hard to beat at home in the Primeira Liga. Benfica are very short in the betting market here, my money on the hosts taking another point in Portugal.

Rio Ave Form

Rio Ave have been inconsistent all season long but remain strong at home in the Primeira Liga, going unbeaten in 23 of their last 24 matches in Vila do Conde.

Petit’s side beat Braga 2-1 in their previous home game. Clayton scored in the 5th minute and Jonathan Panzo restored the lead in the second half.

Rio Ave are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Famalicao, the result leaving them tenth on the table.

Benfica Form

Benfica have won their last five matches in the Primeira Liga, scoring 13 goals with four conceded. The run includes a 3-2 win at Estrela da Amadora and 1-0 victory at Santa Clara.

The Eagles saw their Champions League run come to an end against Barcelona in the round of 16. Following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Lisbon, they lost 3-1 in Spain last week and will be happy to return to domestic duties.

Injuries & Team News

Rio Ave centre-back Pancho Petrasso is doubtful with winger Tobias Medina injured. Martim Neto is on loan from Benfica and can’t feature here.

Benfica are missing the injured Alexander Bah, Tiago Gouveia and Manu Silva. Florentino is doubtful and Angel Di Maria could return from injury off the bench.
