Keep in mind that the prediction on the top of the page is our main tip. In case you are looking for more value picks, you can use our additional predictions below.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Defensive solidity should prove to be a major factor in this matchup. Both teams' backlines are rock solid, so scoring chances will be hard to come by.

As such, there is decent value to be had in betting 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

👉 Our prediction is: Rio Ave FC win or draw

Our top betting tip is Rio Ave FC to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Rio Ave FC, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Rio Ave FC losing to Moreirense FC. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Rio Ave FC's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
