The AI pre-game prediction favored a Rio Ave win, making this result an upset. Boavista's victory bucks their recent trend of poor results, having lost 4 of their last 5 matches prior to this game. The win could provide a morale boost as they prepare to face SC Farense, where the team rates are almost equal. For Rio Ave, this loss continues a concerning run of form, losing 4 of their last 5 games and they will need to improve their attack before facing Moreirense next week. Considering recent performance and upcoming matches, the loss puts added pressure on Rio Ave to turn their season around.
Historically, Rio Ave has had the upper hand in head-to-head matchups against Boavista, but this game marked a shift. Rio Ave's inability to convert possession into goals is a recurring issue, seen in their previous losses against Casa Pia and FC Famalicao. Similarly, Boavista's recent struggles with maintaining discipline, reflected in multiple red cards in previous games, were absent in this match, contributing to their solid defensive performance.
