Rio Ave form and stats

Disaster struck Rio last season as they could not defend their status as a Primeira Liga team. With 14 defeats from 34 games, and only 7 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Rio Ave are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W4 D6 L7.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Rio handle that role? We have found twelve games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are seven wins, three draws and two defeats.
