On Friday Aug 19th, Estoril and Rio Ave will play a match in Estoril in a clash of these two mismatched Primeira Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, a perfect day for football. Estoril is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Vitória SC. André struck first for Vitória SC in the 16th minute on a feed from André Almeida, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Estoril couldn’t muster any offence and Vitória SC ran away with the shutout win. Estoril is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 16th placed Rio Ave, recorded a 0-3 loss against Sporting CP. Pote struck first for Sporting CP in the 36th minute, then Matheus Luiz added another in the 67th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Rio Ave couldn’t manage to score, and Sporting CP took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. André Franco and Arthur Gomes are the top scorers for Estoril in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
