Rio Ave's most recent outing was a comfortable 2-0 win at bottom-of-the-table Santa Clara a couple of weeks ago, before the international break. The home team begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top-half of the table and they have won four of their last six matches in the Primeira Liga. They now face a Benfica side that, under the management of Roger Schmidt, have been exceptional throughout the campaign as they sit comfortably at the top-of-the-table. Despite the hosts' impressive form, Benfica should win this one.
