FC Porto vs Rio Ave Predictions

• Porto have won their last three home league games without conceding.
• Rio Ave have scored just six times in nine away matches.

Porto’s title challenge continues

Porto made it four wins from their last five Primeira Liga games at Farense last weekend and will look to continue to hunt down the other title contenders on Saturday night.

The hosts sit third in the table and five points adrift of Sporting and have collected 22 points from a possible 27 on home soil this season. With each of their last three home games being wins to nil, I expect another clean sheet against Rio Ave.

Routine home win expected

The visitors, who lie 16th in the Primeira Liga table, are yet to win away from home this season and have scored just six goals in nine trips.

Rio Ave have failed to score in two of their last three on the road and backing Porto to win to nil appeals, as does a 2-0 correct score prediction. Porto have scored exactly twice in three home games this season and Rio Ave have conceded exactly twice in four away games, two of which have been 2-0 defeats.
