Bet on total

Porto plays openly, pays much attention to attack and has no problems with implementation - in three matches of the current season, the "dragons" have scored nine goals against their opponents. It is obvious that Rio Ave's defense will have big problems and the visitors will probably start conceding in the first half. At the same time, Luis Freire's charges are distinguished by high implementation, their goal will not be a surprise.

Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 2.17
