Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Moreirense
Rio Ave play host to Moreirense at their Estadio do Rio Ave in the closing match of Sunday’s program. Luis Freire’s troops failed to spoil Sporting’s party in Lisbon on Monday evening, but they are surely capable of matching Moreirense in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Rui Borges’ men, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Moreirense have been struggling at the back of late and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Midfielder Dinis Pinto has yet to overcome a head injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
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.
