Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this game will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Estoril and Rio Ave have seldom treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in Liga NOS individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.29.
