Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Rio Ave and Boavista, the two top-table sides, face each other at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube in what is expected to be a very exciting game. Rio Ave will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Santa Clara, but the game against Boavista will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. January signing Lucas Piazon, who scored the winner against Santa Clara, will be the man to watch in the home team.
The black and whites, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team failing to win the last four league fixtures. Important defender Marlon misses the game through suspension, and given Boavista’s current form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Carlos Carvalhal’s charges. In their last meeting at Estadio do, Rio Ave Futebol Clube Rio Ave defeated Boavista 2-1.

Highlighted Player (Nelson Monte):

Nelson Monte is a Portuguese footballer who played futsal at the beginning of his career. In 2008 he moved to famous Portuguese club Benfica, and four years later, he joined fellow Primeira Liga outfit Rio Ave to finish his development.
Nelson Monte has been playing for Rioavistas ever since, establishing himself as a first-team regular at the Estadio dos Arcos club. The Portuguese defender made his Primeira Liga debut on April 12, 2014, in a 2-1 loss to Olhanense.
Nelson Monte has 13 caps for the Portugal U19 team while making three appearances for the Portugal U20 team. His primary position is right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances at centre-back as well. Nelson Monte was born in Vila do Conde, Portugal, on July 30, 1995, and his preferred foot is right. The Rio Ave defender has yet to earn a call-up for the Portugal national team.
Highlighted Team (Boavista):

Founded on August 1, 1903, Boavista are a Portuguese club that welcome their rivals at Estadio do Bessa. The capacity of the venue is 28,263 and it was built back in 1911. As Panteras (The Panthers) are well known for their black and white shirts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Famous Fellow city club Porto are considered Boavista’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in O Derby da Invicta and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two local rivals. A Panteras did well to win their first and only Primeira Liga trophy in the 2000/2001 season, with the team finishing the campaign only one point clear of Porto.
Boavista have five Taca de Portugal trophies (1974/75, 1975/76, 1978/79, 1991/92, 1996/97), with the team winning Supertaca de Portugal three times (1979, 1992, 1997). Jose Bosingwa, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Nuno Gomes are the notable footballers who played for Boavista in the past, to name just a few.
