Rio Ave 21/10 to beat Paços de Ferreira in Mondays Primeira Liga matchup

Competition: Primeira Liga

Market: Rio Ave to beat Paços de Ferreira

Odds: 21/10 @ Bet365

With just one game remaining in the Primeira Liga season, Paços de Ferreira know that they need a result on Monday night or relegation will be almost a certainty.

For Joao Henriques Paços de Ferreira side, The Beavers have drastically struggled since the turn of the New Year and find that only their goal difference is keeping them above the drop zone with one game remaining. Coming off the back of a 1-0 loss to Boavista last time out, Ferreira have now lost three of their last four and their defensive issues have continued to show. The hosts have now only managed to record one clean sheet in their last 13 outings, a run stemming back to January.

For the guests, like the last four seasons, Rio Ave have turned themselves into one of the Primeira Liga’s most stable sides. On the verge of confirming their fourth consecutive Top Six finish, although Miguel Cardoso’s side are 18 points adrift of securing Europa League football for next season, Rio are coming off the back of a 2-1 win against Chaves last time out and boast a stellar record against The Frogs. Ferreira have only managed to take three points off Rio once in their last 13 attempts, a run that goes back to 2012.
