Rio Ave
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Gil Vicente
Estadio da Capital do Movel will host Friday’s football game between Rio Ave and Gil Vicente, the two mid-table sides. Rio Ave are eyeing a top-ten finish and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Os Galos. It has to be noted, though, that forward Clayton is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Os Rioavistas, on the other hand, did well to secure yet another Primeira Liga survival, meaning that manager Cesar Peixoto can breathe easier ahead of the final day of the season. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards and we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but both Kanya Fujimoto and Sphephelo Sithole remain in the recovery room. In their last meeting at the venue, Rio Ave defeated Gil Vicente 3-0.
Highlighted Team (Rio Ave):
Nicknamed Rio Grande, Rio Ave are a Portuguese club that compete in Primeira Liga. Rio Ave were founded back in 1939 and they welcome their rivals at Estadio dos Arcos, the stadium which can hold up to 12,815 people.
The team’s home shirt is green with white stripes, whilst the colour of their shorts is green. Rio Ave wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The club’s biggest success came in the 2014/2015 season when they represented Portugal in the Europa League group stages. Rio Ave finished the process in the last position in Group J, but they did well to record their first ever win in the competition, with the team beating Danish club Aalborg 2-0 at their Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube.
Former Real Madrid full-back Fabio Coentrao is considered one of the club’s most notable footballers. Manchester City first-choice goalkeeper Ederson played for Rio Ave in the past as well.
