We said: Santa Clara 1-2 Rio Ave

 While Rio Ave have been solid at home in recent weeks, they must improve their form on the road if they are to make a late push for a spot in Europe. Buoyed by their win over the Gilistas, we are backing Freire's side to see off the floundering hosts, who have struggled for goals this season. Read more.
