Betting Predictions

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 97.50

This prediction indicates that Rio Ave might struggle to find the back of the net in the latter part of the game. Given their average goals scored per match (1.45) and conceded (3.10), it’s plausible they may focus more on defense, especially if they take an early lead or want to maintain it.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 97.90

Tondela’s difficulty in scoring during the first half is highlighted here. This could be due to a strong defensive setup from Rio Ave or Tondela’s own strategic approach to conserve energy for a stronger second-half performance.

Over 1.5 Goals: 88.00

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 72.50

Tondela’s inability to score in the second half is less likely than Rio Ave’s, but still significant at 72.5%. This could be due to fatigue or tactical adjustments by Rio Ave to neutralize Tondela’s attacking threats.
