Estoril vs Rio Ave Prediction and Betting Tips 22 August 2026

Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota will host an intriguing Primeira Liga clash between Estoril and Rio Ave, with both sides searching for a much-needed victory. Estoril are still without a win this season and aim to make amends for a 2-0 defeat to Nacional. Their recent form is worrying, with no victories in their last 10 matches and just 0.80 goals scored per game. Midfielder Xeka is suspended for the hosts, who have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those 10 outings.

Rio Ave, meanwhile, are also struggling after back-to-back defeats to Gil Vicente and Porto, conceding three goals without scoring. Os Rioavistas have found the net just 0.90 times per game across their last 10 matches, while they have failed to score in 40% of those outings. The visitors have a number of injury concerns, although Andreas Ntoi returns from suspension. The H2H record slightly favours Rio Ave, who have won 10 of the previous 22 meetings, while 95% produced over 1.5 goals.

As both sides seem to be struggling offensively, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw, and Draw.

This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 18:00.
