Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Casa Pia
Match Time & Date:

16:30
Prediction: 1-0
Rio Ave
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior pits together Casa Pia and Rio Ave, the two teams that were beaten by Nacional and Benfica respectively before the international break. Casa Pia aim to put an end to their three-game losing run. However, this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Kiki remains in the recovery room, while fellow forward Claudio Mendes is a major doubt.
Os Rioavistas, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Famalicao and Benfica. Rio Ave, though, head into Saturday’s game with a severely-weakened squad. With both and Clayton missing out through suspension, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home team. Tiago Morais is widely expected to return to Rio Ave’s starting XI this weekend.
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.
