Betting suggestion:
Sporting Braga are simply the team with the best away record in the Portuguese league. What's more, they come into this game on the back of a defeat to Benfica, so a response is required. But on the other side is a team that is very well coached and that makes its stadium an important additional force, even for the bigger clubs. It's not easy to win in Vila do Conde, and even given the greater wear and tear on the Braga team, this game has everything it takes to be balanced and full of goals, as Sporting Braga need to win.

Analysis Rio Ave
After 6 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 11th position, havinf won 26 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Estoril by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against AVS. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 22 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Rio Ave has a record of 3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. In their home matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (5 out of 11 matches) and after the 90' 2‑2 (4 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have never been able to turn the score around.
After five consecutive games without defeat, Rio Ave lost again. It was against Estoril, and by (2-1). It was an “ungrateful” result for Petit's team, who managed to equalize the game in the 83rd minute, but then conceded the 2nd goal to Estoril in the 90th minute, and the consequent defeat. Even with the defeat, it was another personalized display from this Rio Ave team reinvigorated by Petit. With 26 points, they remain in 10th place, with the same number of points as Moreirense, and just one ahead of Arouca. This means that Rio Ave have no margin for error in round 24, otherwise they could lose places in the league table. Rio Ave will therefore be looking to win their game against Sporting Braga.

Sporting Braga arrived in Vila do Conde having lost again to Benfica. After the 3-0 defeat that eliminated them from the League Cup, the Bracarenses went to the Estádio da Luz to lose 1-0 and were eliminated from the Portuguese Cup as a result. Sporting Braga must now focus on the Portuguese League, where they are in a fierce battle for 3rd place with FC Porto. 4th place should be assured, given that the competition has not put up much of a fight. But Carlos Carvalhal's side need to win as many games as possible if they are to still be in 3rd place, starting with this trip to Rio Ave.
