General match analysis
Estoril have a clear attacking advantage at home, averaging 1.39 xG and 14 shots per match, while Rio Ave manage just 0.81 xG and 6 shots away from home. The hosts average a goal per home game and have yet to be kept off the scoresheet, whereas the visitors have failed to score in every away fixture, with their percentage of matches without a goal standing at 100%. Rio Ave allow opponents an average of 1.62 xG, which should give Estoril more quality chances than usual. However, both teams are in poor form, with Estoril recording 3 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches, while Rio Ave have 2 draws and 3 defeats. The hosts’ defence also looks more solid in terms of chance quality, conceding 0.71 xG compared with 1.62 for the visitors, making a narrow Estoril victory the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The stronger signal points to BTTS - No, as Rio Ave have scored just 2 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.4 per game, while Estoril have scored 0.8 goals per match. The visitors have failed to score in their entire season to date, with their average xG standing at just 0.81, even though Estoril’s defence allows opponents an xG of 1.65. Both teams have conceded 1.6 goals per game across their last five appearances, giving the home side a realistic route to scoring, but this does not compensate for Rio Ave’s low attacking efficiency. BTTS in the last five matches stood at 80% for Estoril, but only 40% for Rio Ave, while the league average is 47%, so the visitors’ data more clearly supports a scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
In their last five matches, Estoril averaged 0.8 goals scored and 1.6 conceded, while Rio Ave scored just 0.4 goals and conceded 1.6. Matches involving both teams went over 2.5 goals in only 20% of cases during this period, although Estoril recorded both teams to score in 80% of those fixtures. The xG figures point to a moderate-scoring game: 1.28 xG for Estoril and 1.13 xG for Rio Ave, compared with 1.73 and 1.34 xG allowed by their opponents, respectively. The projected total of 2.35 goals leaves a clear margin below four goals, making Under 3.5 the most valuable signal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A half-time draw is the most likely outcome, as Estoril have averaged 0.0 goals scored before the break in their last five matches, while Rio Ave have averaged just 0.2. However, both teams often start slowly: Estoril were trailing at half-time in 80% of their last five matches, compared with 60% for Rio Ave, which also increases the likelihood of a turnaround by the hosts. After the break, Estoril’s advantage is clear: they average 0.8 goals scored and 0.4 conceded, whereas Rio Ave score 0.2 and allow 0.8 goals. The hosts won the second half in 80% of this sample, while the visitors failed to score after half-time in 80% of their matches. Therefore, the X/1 HT/FT outcome best combines a cautious start with Estoril’s greater likelihood of deciding the match in the second half.
