Rio Ave and Famalicao to Draw
With both teams safely tucked in or around the middle of the standings and without a strong motive in this match, we can see this game playing out like a friendly game.

Under 2.5 Goals
We saw fewer than three goals in three of the last five head-to-head duels between these teams, which is the main reason why our second Rio Ave vs Famalicao prediction is under 2.5 total goals.
Furthermore, Rio Ave averaged 2.27 goals per game in the league this season, while Famalicao averaged 2.48 goals per game in Primeira Liga so far, which bodes well for our prediction.

Rio Ave – Famalicao Preview: Team News, Recent Form, and Possible Lineups
Read all about the latest news and updates for these teams here, including the most likely Rio Ave vs Famalicao lineups:
Rio Ave
With just one win in the last six games in the league, along with two draws and three losses, Rio Ave has clearly struggled recently. Luckily for them, that didn't really affect their position much since Rio Ave is safe from relegation, but they will finish the season in the lower half of the standings, which probably isn't enough for them.
When it comes to team news, only Joca remains on the sidelines at the moment, with the rest of the team in good shape.
Rio Ave Predicted Lineup:
Magrao – Pantalon, Aderllan, William – Costinha, Gomes, Guga, Vitor – Baeza, Ruiz, Boateng
Famalicao
In the last four games in the league, Famalicao has failed to notch a win and they've lost three of those four matches. So, it's safe to say that that team is not in great form right now. Despite that, Famalicao remains in the top half of the standings and with one match left in the season, they are bound for a mid-table finish.
Meanwhile, Theo Fonseca and Jose Luis Rodriguez remain on the team's injury list ahead of this match.
Famalicao Predicted Lineup:
Junior – Penetra, Riccieli, Otavio, Lima – Youssouf, Colombatto – Kadile, Rodrigues, Jaime – Pablo

Player to Watch – Ivan Jaime Pajuelo
While we do expect a draw in this game, there are players on both teams that could break that deadlock and one of them is our player to watch, Ivan Jaime Pajuelo, or just Jaime.
The Spanish forward has been in great form for Famalicao this season, scoring nine goals and adding three assists in Primeira Liga, so Rio Ave better be careful how they defend Jaime in this duel.
