Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this match will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Rio Ave and Santa Clara haven't typically served up thrillers of late, whether that be in Liga NOS individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.18.
