Benfica is 3 points behind Sporting but they have 1 postponed match against team that is in the lower ranking, I think this postponed match will provide guarantee for Benfica to get 3 full points and match Sporting.
This weekend Benfica will play against Rio Ave away and Rio Ave itself is not team that can be underestimated because during playing at home it also showed that Rio Ave can perform optimally with fairly good game, however Benfica must still win this match because that way they will be able to continue to be below Sporting with difference of 3 points until they undergo the postponed match.
Benfica football team has good stats is very good because that team won 4 matches against Rio Ave football team. Rio Ave team could not win any match against Benfica team . Rio Ave players are not performing good because that team lost 2 matches out of last 5 matches and two matches were draw and that team won only 1 match out of 5 matches. Benfica team won 3 matches out of last 5 matches and two matches lost by that team. Benfica football team has top position on the table and that team has 56 points on the table . That is best opportunity for Rio Ave to learn from the mistakes and get upper position on the table.Rio Ave team has only 29 points on the table and that team won 7 matches out of 25 matches. Performance is very bad .
