Prediction: 1-0
Rio Ave
Estadio do Vizela will host Sunday’s Primeira Liga game between Vizela and Rio Ave, the two teams who are level on points in the standings ahead of Matchday 18. Vizela have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Guimaraes and Maritimo, while losing to Famalicao and Sporting CP. Tulipa’s troops continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
USA midfielder Alex Mendez is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Sporting CP, whereas there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Meanwhile, the visitors have been struggling in front of goal in 2023, and given their three-game goalless run in the Primeira Liga, home win should be considered. Midfielder Joca should be the only absentee in the away team.

The club’s biggest success came in the 2014/2015 season when they represented Portugal in the Europa League group stages.
