Rio Ave host Alverca at Estadio dos Arcos, Vila do Conde on Sunday, Feb 28 at 6:00 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Rio Ave come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Alverca, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Rio Ave head into this on the back of a defeat, while Alverca arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Rio Ave face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Alverca have won 5 of 9 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Rio Ave won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Rio Ave a slight edge, but Alverca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
