Sporting CP Rio Ave betting prediction
 Sporting CP |
|  Rio Ave |
Betting suggestion:
The Sporting team, despite having a different level, retains a dynamic from the previous season, especially in midfield and attack. In these areas, the team functions very well and scores goals with great ease. After the loss in the Super Cup, a "wounded pride" Sporting is expected to come into this game with a strong desire to assert their position from the start. A strong opening to the game is anticipated, with the team likely to take the lead by halftime. Therefore, an interesting market is Sporting HT/FT, priced at 1.60 on ESC Online.

Analysis Sporting CP
This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 1st position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 11 wins and 4 draws at their stadium, with 44 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Super Cup, they got a home loss against Porto by (3‑4), after extended time. In the last 10 home matches Sporting CP has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 28 of the last 30 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 24 out of 30 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 13 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 9 of those 13 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them.
Sporting starts their title defense at home this coming Friday against Rio Ave. Last season, the Lions were unequivocally the best team in the league. They were always closely pursued by Benfica, but in crucial moments, Sporting proved to be very solid. However, they ended the season losing the Taça de Portugal to FC Porto and began this season by losing another title to the Dragons, the Super Cup. While it could be seen as just another final defeat, the fact that they were leading 3-0 and allowed a comeback has left their fans worried. The captain who led the Sporting defense for many years has departed, and the lack of a "commanding voice" in the defense has been evident. On the other hand, the team has many strong options up front, and the attack and midfield are functioning well. Last season, Sporting defeated Rio Ave 2-0 at home, and the season before that, 3-0.

Analysis Rio Ave
The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 11th last season. 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 9 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 5 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away loss against Swansea City by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Rio Ave has tied 7 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In the last 15 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 11 goals between minutes (0'‑15'); they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (61'‑75').
The Rio Ave team has lost much of the value it demonstrated "year after year" in Portuguese football. It was once a team that fought for European competition spots, and even when it didn't succeed, it always remained in the top half of the league table. However, last season was truly miserable, with the team constantly facing the shadow of relegation, which worried the entire coaching staff and players. It was only in the last two rounds that Rio Ave finally breathed a sigh of relief. The team was the "king of draws" last season, barely managing to survive point by point. For the current season, the Vilacondenses retained Luís Freire as head coach and brought in several new signings, some with experience, which could potentially bring back more "weight" and competitiveness to the Rio Ave team.
