Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Casa Pia, Famalicao will look to climb to the Conference League berth as they welcome Rio Ave to their Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Sunday. Hugo Oliveira’s troops have been having their ups and downs in the Primeira Liga of late, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Rio Ave in front of home fans. Both Oscar Aranda and Rafa Soares are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Os Rioavistas, on the other hand, did well to shock Jose Mourinho’s Benfica on Tuesday evening, with substitute Andre Luiz scoring a beautiful equalizer in the dying minutes of the match. As a result, the Brazilian forward should be recalled to the starting XI. Anyhow, Rio Ave and Famalicao seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s encounter.
