Rio Ave vs Sporting CP Prediction & Tips
Rio Ave are having a fairly modest season and with just a few games to go are comfortably in mid-table. The team is in a safe zone and has not been aiming to qualify for European competitions for a long time.
On the other hand, Rio Ave is separated from the relegation zone by 10 points, which with four games left in the season allows them not to think about the fight for survival. The only joy for the fans could be the Portuguese Cup, however, in the semi-final awaits them one of the giants of local football.
Sporting are still in the title race and with four rounds of the season to go they are level with Benfica. The ‘Eagles’ have a slightly tougher schedule, however, with a high probability, the fate of the championship will be decided in the direct clash between the teams on matchday 33.
It is noteworthy that both clubs are still in the fight for the national cup. The opponents in the semi-final are not the strongest, so another clash between them in the decisive match is expected.
