Rio Ave
LWDLD
Rio Ave have had a competitive Primeira Liga campaign from their modest but reliable Estádio dos Arcos. As such, they're ranked 12th in the Portuguese top-flight void of relegation concerns and no shot of securing European football. Two wins in their past five outings reflects a squad that competes effectively at this level without the resources to trouble the division's elite. At home for their final fixture of the season in Vila do Conde, they will approach this encounter with the pride of a club that has held its own all campaign and the desire to produce a positive performance against the champions on their own ground.
Sporting CP
WLDDW
The Lions arrive this fixture having relinquished their league title to Francesco Farioli's FC Porto and currently occupy third place on the log with 76 points accumulated from their 32 encounters. Their 21 league titles and back-to-back Primeira Liga crowns gives this squad the winning DNA and experience required to secure European. Away at Rio Ave, a manageable assignment for a side of their calibre, they carry the full weight of their squad quality. Every attacking and defensive position in the Sporting lineup is occupied by a player capable of delivering at the top level of Portuguese football.
Prediction
Sporting's overwhelming squad superiority makes them the very clear favourites away at Rio Ave's compact coastal ground.
