Predictions & Betting Tips
Benfica have been outstanding in their last 10 away games, winning 7 matches (70%). Rio Ave’s lower home win rate (3/10, 30%) suggests they may struggle, and the visitors are likely to control the game.
Both sides usually score at least once in their last 10 home/away games (Rio Ave 90%, Benfica 90%), though three or more goals are less consistent. Over 1.5 goals is the safer selection.
BTTS trends are mixed over the recent 10 games: one team may score while the other doesn’t. This market carries more uncertainty, so combining with goals or win stats is advised.
Rio Ave regularly reach high corner totals at home (60%), while Benfica are lower on the road. The home team may dominate corners, so Over 9.5 could still hit.
Our Tip: Over 1.5 Goals is a reliable option. Rio Ave have at least 2 goals in 90% of their last 10 home games, while Benfica do the same in 90% of their last 10 away games. A steady option if higher goal totals feel risky.
