Rio Ave v Boavista
Sunday 18:00

In Turkey yesterday, Trabzonspor shocked Fenerbahce - and us - 3-2. And it wasn't really that close - Dusan Tadic's late goals added a veneer of respectability to what could have been a proper beating.

We finish in Portugal, where the third of four games in the Primeira Liga brings sixth-placed Boavista to second-bottom Rio Ave. We're hoping to see a few goals at Estadio dos Arcos.

Luis Freire's Rio Ave have lost four in a row home and away. They've conceded four in each of their last two home games - though they did manage three of their own last time out against Farense. The hosts have netted at least once in 4/5 home Liga games so far.

After a fast start to the campaign, Boavista are now four games without a win. Both teams have scored in 8/9 home and away, including 4/4 on the road. Three of those four games got to Over 2.5 Goals.

With two shaky defences on show today, we'll take Over 2.5 Goals to land again at an odds-against price.

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.111/10
