Prediction: 1-1
Vizela
Rio Ave and Vizela face each other at Estadio do Rio Ave in the opening match of Saturday’s program. Os Rioavistas have drawn each of their last three league matches, but despite their four-game unbeaten run, the hosts are still sitting in the danger zone. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Vizela.
Os Vizelenses, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Chaves and Braga. As Pablo Villar’s men will go for a win in the relegation six-pointer as well, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. As for the away team, midfielder Nuno Moreira is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Jardel likely to step up. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight Vizela defeated Rio Ave 3-1, but a close encounter is on the cards 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.
