Académico de Viseu vs Rio Ave prediction

THE FORECAST

Academico Viseu sit 6th with a perfect five-match winning run and concede only 1.2 per game, giving them a clear edge over a Rio Ave side in 16th who have lost three of their last five and leak 2.3 goals per game. Viseu have only four days of rest after a Taça da Liga fixture but face no imminent high-stakes game, so rotation risk is modest, while Rio Ave had a full week's rest and arrive in slightly better physical condition. The mild, dry conditions suit both sides equally, but Viseu's home form and superior league position make them the likeliest winners in what should be a tight, low-scoring affair.
