Prediction: 1-1
Rio Ave
Estadio de Sao Luis will host Saturday’s football game between Farense and Rio Ave, the two teams who are almost level on points in the bottom half of the table. Os Leoes de Faro are on a four-game losing run in Primeira Liga, but this match could be the turning point for the hosts, who are desperate to avoid relegation. Luiz Felipe remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Rioavistas, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. As Rio Ave and Farense seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the away team is that experienced defender returns to the starting XI after serving a one-game ban in the goalless draw with Braga.
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.
