Porto returned to the top of the table in midweek

Aves lost for third straight game 2-0 when they made the trip to Tondela in midweek and have now lost their last five league games. Porto claimed a narrow 1-0 win at home to maritime and that result proved enough to send the title-challengers back to the top of the table, due to Benfica dropping points in their game.

Aves are now 12pts off safety and it’s almost impossible to imagine the divisions bottom club escaping the drop zone before the season comes to an end. The outlook isn’t bright for the hosts heading into Tuesday’ match either, as Porto have won ten of their last eleven matches against Aves.

Aves are 12pts off safety and look destined for relegation

Porto have kept clean sheets in eight of their last 11 matches against Aves, as well as in three of their last six league games, and our prediction for an away win-to-nil on Tuesday looks increasingly likely. The hosts have lost ten of their 13 home games this season while the visitors have won nine of their 13 away trips.

Aves average just 0.69 points per home game and concede an average of 1.62 goals at home while Porto average 2.23 points on the road and score an average of 1.92 goals per away game, which is why our prediction for a 2-0 final scoreline looks favourable. Porto have kept clean sheets in 38% of their away games this season while Aves have failed to score in a whopping 54% of their home matches, adding further weight to our prediction for Tuesday’s clash.

Comfortable win expected for the visitors

Now Porto have returned to the summit of the Primeira Liga it’s hard to imagine the Portuguese giants dropping points against Aves, especially as the visitors have such a good record against their hosts and head into the game as the clear form favourites. When Aves have failed to score at home they have gone on to lose each game while all of Porto’s clean sheets on the road have lead to wins-to-nil.
