Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Rio Ave
Monday’s football game between Gil Vicente and Rio Ave will bring down the curtain on the Primeira Liga round 17. Os Galos head into the match following back-to-back draws with Sporting CP and Arouca, but they are seen as favourites to beat Os Rioavistas in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Rio Ave.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Nacional. A man to watch in the away team will be Clayton, who scored a brace in the last league match, while Tiago Morais is pushing for a rare start. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw as Gil Vicente are undefeated in the previous four Primeira Liga games. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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 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.
