Rio Ave vs. Santa Clara

Rio Ave is on a 1-4-1 run with a struggling offense, netting 10 goals in 14 Portuguese Premier League clashes. The defense is decent (16 goals surrendered), however, the seventh-best in the league. They come off of a 1-1 DRAW with top-ranked Sporting CP, the second-highest scoring team. They host ninth-ranked Santa Clara in a key game as both teams are tied with 15 points in the standings. Santa Clara's offense has mustered 13 goals in 14 contests (seventh-fewest) scoring four goals in their last four road games. All of this means to look for a fierce defensive duel. Play this one to stay UNDER the total.
