Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Football match between Casa Pia and Rio Ave will open Saturday’s program in the Primeira Liga round 4. Casa Pia have been having their ups and downs in the new season, with the team beating Farense, losing to Sporting, while sharing the spoils with Boavista. Filipe Martins’ men are eager to record their first home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but all Kiki Silva, Rafael Brito, and Leo Natel are out of contention through injuries.
Luis Freire’s troops, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Estoril (0-2) and Porto (1-2) in the last two league matches and that is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Goalkeeper Jhonatan remains the only absentee in the visiting team.
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.
