Prediction: 2-1
Rio Ave
Estadio Municipal will host Monday’s football game between Sporting Braga and Rio Ave, the two teams who are level on points in the Primeira Liga standings ahead of Matchday 12. Sporting Braga produced an excellent performance in a 2-0 win over Vitoria Guimaraes, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to climb to the Europa League berth.
Os Arsenalistas scored exactly two goals in each of their previous three home games in the Portuguese top flight, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Rio Ave. The Rioavistas did well to beat Vitoria Setubal in their last league fixture, with the team putting an end to their four-game winless run in the national championship. However, Sporting Braga are likely to pose a much bigger threat for Rio Ave than their previous rivals.
