Rio Ave vs Vitoria Guimaraes Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Rio Ave’s last five Primeira Liga home games
• Six of the last eight Primeira Liga meetings between these sides have finished with over 2.5 goals
• Ten of Rio Ave’s league games were won by a single goal last season

Rio Ave can build on European qualifying successes

Winning is a habit and Rio Ave could have the edge over Vitoria Guimaraes in their upcoming Primeira Liga clash on account of their great run of form in Europa League qualifying.

Rio Ave have knocked both Borac and Besiktas out of qualification for Europe’s secondary competition and will square off with Milan for a place in the group stage but must first navigate a Guimaraes outfit who were disappointing in their opening-round home defeat to Belenenses.

Guimaraes did not travel well last term, winning only five of their 17 away assignments and have lost two of their last three contests against these opponents.

Rio Ave finished two places and five points better off than Guimaraes last season and are our prediction to prevail but with both teams scoring in 18 of Vitoria’s 34 matches last term, it could be a high-scoring clash and 2-1 looks the way to go in terms of a correct score.
