Two teams separated by two places and two points in the Portuguese top flight clash on Monday night as Arouca play host to Rio Ave.
Arouca have been hard to beat since the turn of the year. The Wolves are unbeaten in their four games so far in 2025, winning three of them. This fine form has lifted Vasco Seabra's side three places above the bottom three and they have the chance to move into the top eight with a win on Monday.
Rio Ave, meanwhile, are six places and seven points above the bottom three. The visitors didn't start the year as they would have liked, with only two points from their first three games. They have responded well with a three-match unbeaten run in all competitions, beating Farense and Sao Jao, whilst drawing with Porto.
Arouca vs Rio Ave Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Arouca finished just two of their last ten matches without conceding, but both encounters were played at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca. Both games ended in a one-goal affair, and we continue to see similar results when the Wolves play at this ground, with none of their last four league matches producing more than two goals.
Rio Ave are also struggling defensively at the moment, with the away side without a clean sheet in twelve matches. However, only two of their six away league games have produced more than two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Arouca vs Rio Ave prediction: 1-1
