Prediction: 1-1
Rio Ave
Estoril will look to recover from a 4-3 loss to Arouca when they face Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga round 2. Os Canarinhos experienced all kinds of problems at the back in their opener, but there were some positivities in their performance in the Estadio Municipal de Arouca clash. Head coach Alvaro Pacheco should have a full squad to choose from for Sunday’s showdown.
Rio Ave, on the other hand, kicked off the new Primeira Liga campaign with a 2-0 win over Chaves, but the round 2 game will be anything but a walk in the park for the visiting team. In their last encounter at the venue the two sides played out a 2-2 draw and we predict that they are going to share the spoils once again. Ze Manuel is pushing for a start after sealing the victory against Chaves, whilst there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Rio Ave):

The club’s biggest success came in the 2014/2015 season when they represented Portugal in the Europa League group stages.
