Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Rio Ave
Match Time & Date:
25/04/2021
09:30 AM
Prediction: 2-0
Ferreira
Rio Ave will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Maritimo when they face Ferreira at their Estadio do Rio Ave on Matchday 29. Miguel Cardoso’s men have been dropping down the standings week by week, and, as a result, their Primeira Liga status is in great danger. Both Amaral and Filipe return from suspension, while Andre Perreira and Junio remain in the recovery room.
Anyhow, Rio Ave will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways as they play host Ferreira at their Estadio do Rio Ave. Os Castores are on a four-game losing run, and given their display in the midweek defeat to Farense, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Lica is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
