Portugal flag — Rio Ave have acquitted themselves well in Portugal's top flight

Tobias Gourlay's hoping to be entertained as Rio Ave travel to Maritimo in the Primeira Liga

Maritimo have hit 8 in 3 at home

In Italy yesterday, Inter really did annoy Mourinho. Even Romelu Lukaku grabbed a goal as the Nerazzurri went to Roma and won 2-0 - to leave us short on one side of our BTTS bet.

We're finishing the week in Portugal. Sixteenth-placed Maritimo are hosting 12th-placed Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga and we reckon there could be a few goals this afternoon.

2.0

Sixteen points ahead of their hosts, Rio Ave are all set to survive their first campaign back in the top flight. Luis Freire's men are starting to play with some freedom: they've scored twice on each of their last three road trips, while conceding at least twice in 4/6.

Maritimo are certainly not safe. But the islanders have started to win some home games, succeeding in 5/9 at Estadio do Maritimo. They've scored 11 times in the most recent five matches, while conceding 13 in 7. Both teams have scored in 5/6 and that's the bet we're making at even money today.
