Match Preview

Rio Ave made their chances count against Estoril in their most recent Liga Portugal outing as goals from Jalen Blesa and Tamble Monteiro sealed a 2-0 away win. The hosts climbed to 10th in the standings off the back of that result after back-to-back defeats to start the campaign.

Sporting CP also notched three points in gameweek three as Maxi Araujo's second-minute strike set the tone for a comfortable home victory against Alverca. Rui Borges' side have collected seven points from their opening three Liga Portugal outings.
