Rio Ave - Belenenses Predictions
Rio Ave is one of the teams that promises to "fight" again for the access points to the Europa League! Last year, Luis Castro did an excellent job and was in the discussion for access to Europe, until the last days. But River Ave, in addition to losing his coach Luís Castro, lost the most influential players: Roderick, Wakaso, Gonçalo Paciência, Krovinovic, Gil Dias, Héldon, Petrovic and Filipe Augusto. We are talking about 8 holders of great quality! It's not easy to replace so many quality players in such a short time, but that's the job of Miguel Cardoso, the new coach. The first challenge is played at home, in the Arcos Stadium, in the reception of Belenenses. Restelo blues continued the work of Domingos Paciência, in the expectation of sustained growth. But from what we saw in the pre-season, we do not anticipate an easy beginning of the season. In this first round you play in one of the most difficult fields of Liga NOS, but will face a Rio Ave under construction. Can you bring points from Vila do Conde? It is the most important factor that marks the new era of Rio Ave. A team that was undone, leaving 8 of the most used players. Rio Ave is under construction! Miguel Cardoso was Paulo Fonseca's deputy, and he also worked with Domingos Paciência. However at age 45 he will be one more coach to debut in Liga NOS. Rio Ave has hired good players such as Nuno Santos (formerly Benfica), Karamanos (ex Feirense) and Pélé (formerly Benfica) as quality players, but they seem to have few solutions for players who have left. The pre-season of Rio Ave was more promising with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. The Belenenses only recorded 1 victory, 1 tie and 3 losses, precisely in the last 3 games.Rio Ave - Belenenses head to head
