- Rio Ave were better the last season, but they are still in top 8 in Portuguese League. They are playing in Europe League, which is perfect! They are doing well, they played draw versus Steaua! Rio Ave lost only 1:0 from Benfica as guests! Their form is very good. They have 3 wins and 1 lost match at home, while Academica has 1 win and 3 losses as guests. Their last 5 meetings in the league finished as draw (Rio Ave as home team), but they still managed to beat Academica in the cup with 1:0. Academica is in bad form, so I expect Rio Ave to continue with great results and pick up easy home win!
