里奥阿维是本赛季最令人失望的赛季，在欧洲联赛预选赛中开局非常顺利，在上轮被米兰淘汰，表现出色但遗憾出局。在那场比赛中，里约阿维是更好的球队。

之后的冠军赛他们非常失望，进球困难且无法赢得比赛。主教练马里奥席尔瓦被解雇，然后聘请了米格尔卡多佐，这位教练已经在这支球队中表现出色，事实上，这位教练是他们本可以做的最糟糕的选择。球队完成保级名额，与阿罗卡一起参加保级附加赛，首回合0-3不敌阿罗卡。 里奥阿维甚至开局不错，在第一分钟就统治了比赛，但随后一些防守失误让阿罗卡占据优势并打进一球。在那场失利之后，主教练米格尔·卡多佐被解雇了。现在有了新教练， 里奥阿维将尝试创造奇迹。

阿罗卡是一支来自乙级联赛的球队，且他不是晋级乙级联赛的有力竞争者；但事实上，他已经非常接近实现这一目标了。在我看来，阿罗卡队在质量上是联赛第二好的球队，但球队最近的表现让他们排在第三位。

里奥阿维是一支素质优良的球队，拥有优秀的球员，曾为葡萄牙国家队效力的球员以及其他国家队的球员，降级将是一种耻辱，但这支球队会竭尽所拼命报级。球队有实力避开平局，为此他们必须早早进球。阿鲁卡会防守并尝试利用反击，但我预测这支球队会有很多困难。如果里奥阿维进攻端出色，他们将赢得比赛并能够留在甲级联赛。

Rio Ave was the biggest disappointment of this season, started the season very well in the Europa League qualifiers, was eliminated in the last round by Milan and made a great display and was eliminated on penalties. In that game, Rio Ave was the best team.

Afterwards in the championship they were very disappointed, they had difficulties in making goals and they were unable to win the games. Coach Mário Silva was fired and then hired Miguel Cardoso, coach who had already done an excellent job in this team, the truth is that this coach was the worst option they could have done. Team finished the championship in relegation places, is playing in the relegation playoff with Arouca and lost 3-0 in the first leg. Rio Ave even started well, dominated the game in the first minutes but then some defensive mistakes made Arouca take advantage and scored a goal. Coach Miguel Cardoso was fired after that defeat. Now with new coach Rio Ave will try the miracle.

Arouca is a team from the second division, it was not a contender to move up the division and the truth is that it is very close to achieving it. The Arouca team in my opinion, in terms of quality is the sixth best team in the second league, but the team's last performances made them finish in third place.

The Rio Ave team is a team of great quality, has good players, players who have played for the National Team of Portugal and other players from other National Teams, it will be a shame to go down the division but this team will do everything they can to not go down, there are quality in the team to go around the tie, for that they will have to score a goal early. Arouca will play defense and try to exploit the counter attack but i foresee many difficulties for this team. If Rio Ave is well offensively, they will win the game and be able to stay in the first division.
