Marítimo Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. In this game it is expected for Marítimo to have more initiative in the game as they are playing at home, however, Rio Ave will risk enough on the counterattack in order take advantage of the defensive difficulties of the home team. Therefore, we believe that this will be a well played game and with a few goals in the marker.

Analysis Marítimo

The home team comes to this 2nd round of Group C after a draw in their debut in this group stage, against Sporting Covilhã, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded. Marítimo has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 11 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. there are 2 periods that stand out in the last 9 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (16'‑30'); they have suffered 4 of their 7 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Marítimo is off to this match with a tie to a ball in the field of Covilhã, making this the second consecutive game without losing in official matches: Djoussé scored the only goal of the team. In this game for the League Cup the coach Daniel Ramos will keep the team in 4-5-1 benefiting the organization of the block and the counter-attacks, especially, through the left corridor: Antonio Xavier is a very fast player and very strong in this kind of transition. Dyego Sousa and Marício Antônio are the best strikers of Marítimo with 3 goals. For this game the coach can't count on Edgar Costa, Mansour, Esquerdinha and Fábio China, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Gottardi, Patrick, Maurício, Raul Silva, Coronas, Erdem Şen, Fransergio, Éber Bessa, Edgar Costa, Donald Djousse, Gevorg Ghazaryan.

Analysis Rio Ave

The away team comes to this 2nd round of Group C after a win in their debut in this group stage, against Sporting Braga, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Rio Ave has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 10 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 6 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Rio Ave's crew is off to this game motivated because of the victory in the pitch of Braga, by 1-2, in a game for the first day of the group round of the League Cup: goals were scored by Roderick and Héldon. In this match the coach Luis Castro must act in the usual 4-2-3-1 and Guedes is the man responsible for tormenting the defensive line of the opponent. However, the extreme left Gil Dias is the highlight of Rio Ave with 3 goals and 2 assists. For this game the coach can't count on Ronan, Pedro Moreira and Leandrinho, players recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Cássio, Nadjack, Rafa Soares, Marcelo, Roderick Miranda, Tarantini, Alhassan Wakaso, Kizito, Héldon, Hélder Guedes, Rúben Ribeiro.
