Rio Ave Santa Clara betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The two teams reached this challenge tied in number of points and looking to resume the path of victories. At home, Rio Ave should try to assume a position of greater control, before a Santa Clara who should alternate between a strategy of counterattack and trying to press higher in a paused and controlled manner. It is certain that a draw will not satisfy the ambitions of any of the coaches (although it may serve the Azoreans better), so a split match with several goal opportunities is expected.

In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Sporting CP by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have won (3‑0) at home, against Portimonense.

Rio Ave has been running a campaign well below expectations and reaches the 15th round in the 10th place in the leaderboard, with a record of 15 points, alongside Tondela and Santa Clara. 10 points away from the qualifying zone for European competitions, the team led by coach Pedro Cunha has yet to recover the lost ground. Something that seems to be achieving more recently, taking into account the latest results in the championship. After beating Portimonense (3-0), two days ago, the villagers did not win in the last one, but managed to bring a good result on visit to the leader Sporting, with whom they drew, in Alvalade, by 1-1 (the goal the tie was scored by Gelson Dala, at 61').

Confirmed Lineup: Pawel Kieszek, Ivo Pinto, Fábio Coentrão, Toni Borevković, Aderllan Santos, Tarantini, Francisco Geraldes, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Gabrielzinho, Gelson, Ryotaro Meshino.

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Boavista, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Famalicão, by (1‑2).

In the last 7 away league matches Santa Clara has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 21 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

The Santa Clara team has had an interesting journey overall in the 2020/21 season, mainly through a very positive campaign in the Portuguese Cup. In Liga NOS, Daniel Ramos' team has also remained out of the relegation places, in a year in which the goal is maintenance. Even so, the 15 points that put the Azorean team in the 11th place of the leaderboard give only three points of advantage to the relegation zone. Last weekend, Santa Clara entered the reception to Famalicão as a favorite, but failed to fulfill that favoritism, having even lost, by 1-2 (scored through an own goal, at 70'). This was the fifth consecutive match for the Daniel Ramos team without a league win.

Confirmed Lineup: Marco Pereira, Mikel Villanueva, Fabio Cardoso, Rafael Ramos, João Lucas, Hidemasa Morita, Anderson Carvalho, Costinha, Diogo Salomão, Crysan, Carlos.
Coach: D. Lopes Ramos.
