In the 20th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, on February 3, 2025, Rio Ave and Porto will face off. The visitors hope to keep up with their usual title rivals and will aim for a victory against a mid-table side with little motivation.

Our prediction for the Rio Ave vs Porto match

The "Rioavistas" have not been particularly impressive. Last season, they finished with 37 points and lost the battle for 10th place to Farense only on tiebreakers. The "Dragons" failed to compete with Sporting and Benfica for the Primeira Liga title last season. However, Sérgio Conceição managed to secure a domestic cup triumph before leaving.

The new president of Porto, André Villas-Boas, put his trust in Vítor Bruno. However, Bruno lasted only until January. After losing the League Cup semifinal to Sporting and suffering defeats in the Primeira Liga against Nacional and Gil Vicente, he was dismissed. The change didn’t help much—Porto lost at home to Olympiacos in the Europa League. On Thursday, they barely scraped a 1-1 draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv. A week ago, they also managed only a 1-1 draw against Santa Clara in the league.

Rio Ave has been holding up reasonably well. They remain in the domestic cup competition and regularly pick up points in the league, keeping a safe distance from the relegation zone. They even secured an away win against Farense.

The home team averages just over one goal per match while conceding 1.68. Despite Porto's recent struggles, their overall statistics remain solid, with an average of 2.21 goals scored and 0.79 conceded per match.
