Prediction: 1-1
Belenenses
Sunday’s football game at Estadio do Rio Ave pits together Rio Ave and Belenenses, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Primeira Liga standings. Rio Ave are not enjoying a season to remember, but their displays in March have been anything but poor. Following a 2-0 win over Farense, Miguel Cardoso’s men shared the spoils with Moreirense at the weekend, and they are surely capable of matching O Belem on home soil.
Both Andre Pereira and Junio are likely to miss the game with injuries. Belenenses, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Farense. O Belem shared the spoils with Rio Ave in the previous two meetings between the two clubs at Estadio do Rio Ave, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Kau and Varela should be the only absentees in the away side.
