Prediction: 2-1
Rio Ave
Arouca and Rio Ave take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Arouca in the closing match of the Primeira Liga round 21. Arouca aim to build on back-to-back wins over Moreirense and Nacional and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of Monday’s showdown. Boris Popovic misses out through suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Rioavistas, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with FC Porto. As Rio Ave players could feel a bit tired following the Taca de Portugal clash with Sao Joao Ver, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the home side. Defender Jonathan Panzo is out of contention through suspension for the visiting team following his sending-off in the draw with the Dragons.
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.
