Arouca vs Rio Ave Prediction

For this Primeira Liga fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for Arouca vs Rio Ave, at 80% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Arouca's games produced 2.4 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Rio Ave's games averaged 1.8, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 80%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 3-0. The pick lost.
