Estoril Praia play host to Rio Ave at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Sunday evening for the second round of the league matches. Estoril Praia were left spitting feathers in last Sunday's league opener when they suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat against Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Arouca. Despite efforts from Jordan Holsgrove, Joao Marques and Alejandro Marques, goals from Rafa Mujica, Cristo Gonzalez, Pedro Santos and an own goal from Volnei Feltes helped Arouca claim a pulsating victory. On the other hand, Rio Ave could not have hoped for a more convincing start to the new Primeira Liga campaign as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Chaves in their last outing. In a one-sided affair at the Estadio dos Arcos, Leonardo Ruiz and substitute Ze Manuel scored second-half goals to condemn the Flavienses to an opening-day defeat. For this encounter, I am expecting a win or a draw for Rio Ave for the following reasons:

Firstly. Rio Ave have had mixed results in their recent competitive matches. They have won two and drawn one of their last five competitive games. Rio Ave have found it easy to beat Estoril as can be seen from their recent meetings; they have beat them four times and drawn once in their last five meetings. While Rio Ave will be looking to pick up where they dropped off last weekend, they have struggled for results on the road, where they are currently without a win in five straight competitive matches and have managed just one win since last December. They have however not lost at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in their last eight meetings here.

Secondly. Estoril had been on a good run prior to their league opening day defeat. They had booked their spot in the group stages of the 2023-24 Taca da Liga campaign as they picked up successive wins over Pacos de Ferreira and Os Belenenses in their two qualifying matches. Alvaro Pacheco's men now return home, where they are on a run of five wins and one draw in their last six matches across all competitions since April's 1-0 loss against Portimonense. While they will be looking to extend this solid home record and get their league campaign up and running, they face the challenge of an opposing side whom they have failed to beat in their last five league meetings, claiming four wins and one draw.

While Estoril will be looking to continue their impressive home record, Rio Ave's record at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota means that Saturday's game will be anything but a straightforward affair. I expect Rio Ave to haunt them and still claim a win or a draw on this Sunday evening.

周日晚上，葡萄牙甲级联赛第二轮比赛在科英布拉球场举行，普拉亚Estoril Praia主场迎战里约大道。在上周日的联赛首战中，埃斯托里尔-普拉亚在阿鲁卡市政体育场以4-3的比分险胜阿鲁卡。尽管乔丹·霍尔斯格罗夫、若昂·马奎斯和亚历桑德罗·马奎斯都有出色的表现，但穆希卡、冈萨雷斯、桑托斯的进球和费尔特斯的乌龙球帮助阿鲁卡取得了激动人心的胜利。另一方面，在上一场比赛中，里约大道以2-0战胜查韦斯，这是他们在新赛季西甲联赛中最令人信服的开局。在阿科斯球场的一场一边倒的比赛中，列奥纳多·鲁伊斯和替补出场的泽·曼努埃尔在下半场的进球让弗拉维安人在首场比赛中失利。对于这场比赛，我预计里约大道队会赢或平局，原因如下:

首先。里约大道在最近的比赛中取得了好坏参半的成绩。他们在最近5场正式比赛中取得了2胜1平的成绩。里约大道发现击败埃斯托里尔很容易，这可以从他们最近的会面中看出;在最近的5次交锋中，他们4次击败对手，1次打平。虽然里约大道希望能从上周末的下滑中恢复过来，但他们在客场比赛中表现不佳，目前他们已经连续五场比赛没有获胜，自去年12月以来只取得了一场胜利。然而，他们在科英布拉达莫塔球场的近8次交锋中都没有输过球。

其次。埃斯托里尔在联赛揭幕战失利之前一直表现不错。他们在两场预选赛中接连战胜了德费雷拉和贝伦内塞斯，从而锁定了进入2023-24赛季塔卡西甲小组赛的席位。帕切科的球队现在回到了家乡，在4月0 - 1输给波尔蒂莫内斯之后，他们在各项赛事的最近6场比赛中取得了5胜1平的战绩。虽然他们希望延续这个稳固的主场战绩，并开始他们的联赛之旅，但他们面临的挑战是他们在过去的五次联赛中未能击败对手，取得了四胜一平。

虽然埃斯托里尔希望继续他们令人印象深刻的主场战绩，但里约大道在科英布拉达莫塔球场的战绩意味着周六的比赛将不会是一场直截了当的比赛。我希望里约大道能困扰他们，并在这个周日晚上取得一场胜利或平局。
