Rio Ave Preview
Rio Ave has played 19 matches, in which it has attained 5 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats. These results have given the team 21 points, which have positioned it in the thirteenth place in the standings. Moreover, Rio Ave has scored 18 goals and has allowed 24 for a total goal difference of -6. These numbers demand a victory for the home team, as it is tied on points with Famalicão and could drop to the 14th position, which is quite close to the relegation zone.
In the last five Primeira Liga matches it has played, Rio Ave simply could not find its best style of play and it has reached two ties: one against Vitória Guimarães 0-0, and another one against Famalicão 0-0. The team has also suffered three defeats: against Paços Ferreira 0-1, against Vizela 1-3, and against Sporting Lisboa 0-1. Moreover, Rio Ave has scored only one goal in these five matchdays, which was scored by Abdul-Aziz Yakubu.
Possible Rio Ave lineup (3-5-2): Jhonatan; Patrick William, Josué Sá, Renato Pantalon; Fábio Ronaldo, Guga, Andreas Samaris, Costinha, Paulo Vitor; Hernâni, Emmanuel Boateng.
Estoril Preview
Estoril has one more win than Rio Ave, as the team has won 6 matches, drawn 4 and lost 9. In terms of goals, it has scored the same amount as its rivals, 18 for, 24 against. The difference is that this team has one point more than its next opponents and, if it wins this match, it could climb up to two positions in the standings, something which is really desirable.
Its recent matchdays in the Primeira Liga have not been entirely satisfactory, however, Estoril has achieved two important victories: one against Casa Pia 2-0, and one against Boavista 2-1. These teams have been above Estoril in points and performance wise during the season, so these wins could give the team confidence for this new match. Additionally, the team has lost three games: 0-1 against Marítimo, 0-1 against Famalicão, and 0-1 against Vitória Guimarães. Loses like these affect the team emotionally as well.
Possible Estoril lineup (3-4-3): Daniel Figueira; Joãozinho, João Felix, Shaquil Delos; Tiago Santos, Mor Ndiaye, João Carvalho, Tiago Araújo; Tiago Gouveia, Alejandro Marqués, Rodrigo Martins.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams in the Rio Ave vs Estoril match are looking to outdo each other not only during the match, but also in points in the standings to prevent one from overtaking the other. This is a match that will be tremendously even, as neither of these two teams seems to be better positioned than the other, so we believe that the match may end in a draw.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
