Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Moreirense
Match Time & Date:
2 March 2024
15:30
Prediction: 2-1
Rio Ave
Moreirense will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Farense when they take on Rio Ave on Saturday afternoon. Os Verdes e Brancos are determined to represent Portugal in European competitions next season and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Rio Ave this weekend. Barring any fresh injury worries, Tiago Aguiar is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Os Leoes de Faro at the weekend.
Os Rioavistas, meanwhile, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with title hopefuls Sporting CP in their last league match. Luis Freire’s men, though, have been struggling on the travels this term and given their poor away record (0-5-6), we believe that there is a big value in betting on Moreirense. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Ghana forward Abdul-Aziz Yakubu, who scored a brace against the Lions, while midfielder Renato Pantalon misses out through suspension.
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.
