We said: Sporting Lisbon 3-1 Rio Ave

 Although Sporting lost last time out against Porto, they still scored three goals and demonstrated their attacking prowess. Additionally, while Rio Ave have proven to be stubborn opponents in the past, they did struggle away from home last season, and that should make the hosts favourites on Friday. Read more.
