There is huge class difference between both sides and I cant see Rio Ave taking something from here. This is the last game for Benfica for this calendar year and I expect them strong motivated to finish the year with comfortable win at home in front of their fans.
Bnefica is one of the strongest home sides with great attakcing line with players like Rodrigo, Nolito, Cardozo and Saviloa. Benfica made great squad this season and it seems that they will fight for the tittle after the Porto domination last seasons. Benfica is 2nd placed with equal points to the leaders Porto but with worse goal difference which will additionally motivated them to score a lot of goals tonight.
Last season Benfica won here with 5:2, and actually the team is playing more than comfortable against Rio Ave , with 7 wins and 1 drw in their last 8 meetings.
Rio Ave is one of the weakest sides, tring to avoid the relegation. They are very poor away from home, and hardly scores goals, but concede a lot in the same time.
I expect strong motivated Benfica to score at least 3 goals tonight
