Rio Ave return to their home ground hoping to exploit a very poor opponent. Nacional arrive in terrible form and struggle to find any points.

Why it might land
  • Rio Ave earned a recent victory in their last five matches which gives them some winning momentum over their struggling visitors.
  • C.D. Nacional suffered five consecutive defeats in their most recent fixtures and look completely devoid of any form right now.
  • The market price of 2.20 on a home win offers fair value against a visiting side that cannot buy a result.
Why it might not
  • Rio Ave also lost three of their last five matches including back to back defeats which makes them hard to back with absolute certainty.
  • A sequence of inconsistent results means Rio Ave could easily stumble even when hosting the worst team in the current run.

Both teams to scoreNoPrice varies by book

Nacional struggle so badly for goals that a clean sheet for the hosts is very realistic.

Total goalsUnder 2.5 goalsPrice 1.69

Both sides show weak scoring form lately so a low scoring match is entirely possible.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Rio Ave the side to beat here at 42%, which gives this game a clear shape before a ball is kicked. Our model lands on Rio Ave, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Rio Ave return to their home ground hoping to exploit a very poor opponent. Nacional arrive in terrible form and struggle to find any points.

Form and momentum

Rio Ave come in poor, winning 23% of 40 on record. 3 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

C.D. Nacional come in poor, winning 25% of 40 on record. 3 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 5 losss in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 42% for RAFC, 29% for the draw and 29% for CDN once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. That is a firm lean toward Rio Ave, so the question is whether the form backs the price or quietly argues against it. Our call sits at 2.20, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

Across 2 past meetings CDN have had the better of it, 1 wins to 0, with 1 drawn. Squads change, so read it as colour rather than proof.

Where it could go wrong
  • Rio Ave also lost three of their last five matches including back to back defeats which makes them hard to back with absolute certainty.
  • A sequence of inconsistent results means Rio Ave could easily stumble even when hosting the worst team in the current run.
The bottom line

We back Rio Ave for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.

Rio Ave or Nacional this weekend?

The site model fancies Rio Ave at home against a struggling Nacional side. The worry is that Rio Ave lost three of their last five games. Are you trusting the home side here or steering clear? Let me ...
