Last season, Famalcao impressed the Portuguese fans, who led the championship race for a long time. He looked like he was going to grab a European ticket but lost the last game in an adventurous game (3-3) at Maritimo. At the same time, its current opponent was winning 0-2 at the home of Boavista, celebrating its European exit.
The 1-5 from Benfica in the premiere is strange based on the image we had of Famalicao but the team of the big agent Jorge Mendez made 17 transfers, in their second game they made sure to make the upset in Belem against Belenenses with the final 1-2 to give her the first points this year but without impressing or showing that the match belongs to her. With just two attempts against the opponent's home, he scored two goals and welcomes tonight the suffering Rio Ave.
The guest in the league has two draws, outside with Tondela and inside with Guimaraes and comes from 120 minutes of play plus a long penalty shootout from which she lost her place in the Europa League groups. She held this position until the last minute of extra time when she fell into a silly penalty giving Milan the opportunity to take this position in the groups after 24 executions.
When a small and medium-sized team like Rio Ave faces a huge size like Milan and thus loses its dream of joining the clubs, then it makes sense for the frustration to be great. Apart from the disappointment, however, there is also the dedication he has given to this particular match. For the greens, the game with Milan was everything. There they gave all their energy, mental and physical, which means that after such a process it is very difficult after three days to cope with a championship match with a small and medium team like Famalicao.
For me, Rio Ave's favorite in this match is wrong. To be a favorite means he will claim victory, but I doubt he will have the courage and energy to do so. In my opinion what he will do is defend by playing for the least positive result. On the other hand, Famalikao, with the many changes in its roster, has (with last year) five matches at home without a three-pointer and comes from controversial appearances. However, I estimate that it is the team that will try harder for the victory and if it leads the score, it has a great chance to get it. The ace with draw no bet is quite high and I will prefer it.
