Benfica had a 100% record in the Champions League that ended on Wednesday when they lost 3-1 to Feyenoord at the Estadio da Luz. Before that, Benfica began their Champions season with a 2-1 triumph over Red Star Belgrade on September 19th, two weeks before they beat La Liga top team Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home.
The hosts will now focus on the Primeira Liga, where they are on a run of three consecutive victories and are undefeated in their last six games. Benfica has five victories and one draw, while scoring 17 goals and maintaining three clean sheets since a 2-0 defeat at Famalicao in August.
Betting On Rio Ave

- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 15
Rio Ave avoided an upset in their first appearance of the 2024 Taca de Portugal season as they recorded a 3-1 extra-time win over Liga 3 club Atletico CP at the Estadio da Tapadinha last Saturday. Luis Freire will pray that this win can be a turning point for Rio in the Primeira Liga, where the club didn’t win their last four games, losing twice and recording two draws since a 1-0 win at Arouca.
Rio have only two victories from their eight league matches so far. They have lost four games and drawn to gather 8 points and sit 12th in the standings, but could move to the same level with eight position Moreirense with all three points this weekend.
MatchPlug Prediction For Benfica VS Rio Ave
Winning six games in a row before Wednesday’s loss to Bodo/Glimt, Benfica entered this match intending to get back on the winning side. Rio Ave will seek consecutive victories for the first time since March 2023. They failed to win on the road and as such the hosts will dominate here.
Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.
