Prediction: 2-1
Gil Vicente
Following five consecutive draws in the Primeira Liga, Rio Ave will be aiming to return to winning ways in Primeira Liga when they face Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga round 28. Os Rioavistas are only three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. Emmanuel Boateng is banned for the match, while fellow midfielder Miguel Nobrega misses out with a thigh injury.
Os Galos, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Braga and Famalicao. Gil Vicente, though, have already suffered ten defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Rio Ave’s party in Vila do Conde. As for the visiting side, talented forward Tidjany Toure is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
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.
