• Porto have kept 4 clean sheets in 5 league games
• Porto have scored 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 matches
• Rio Ave have conceded 9 goals in their first 4 game

Porto Poised for Sixth Straight Win

Rio Ave host FC Porto this Friday evening in a Liga Portugal match-up. The two sides come in with contrasting form. Rio Ave have picked up just three points from their four games, conceding an average of 2.25 goals per match. Meanwhile, FC Porto have made a perfect start, winning all five of their opening fixtures, scoring twelve goals and conceding only one. This run includes a 2-1 away victory over title rivals and defending champions Sporting.

This impressive start has installed Porto as title favourites, and they should further strengthen those claims with a win here. FC Porto have restricted four of their five opponents to an expected goals figure of under 1.0, and their stout defence looks well equipped to keep a clean sheet en route to a sixth consecutive league win.

Porto have scored at least two goals in four of their last five games and should have no difficulty finding the net against a leaky Rio Ave side. Back them to win 3-0 here.
