Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Rio Ave
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Tondela
Rio Ave will be looking to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Primeira Liga when they host Tondela at their Estadio do Rio Ave. Mario Silva’s troops are eager to escape the danger zone, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Yellow-Greens. Even though both Andre Pereira and Junio are sidelined with injuries, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net in Tuesday’s clash.
Tondela, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Pako Ayestaran’s troops are on a six-game losing run on the road in all competitions, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Rio Ave’s troops at Estadio do Rio Ave. Both Bebeto and Martinez are back from suspension for the visitors.
