For the 34th and last matchday of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Rio Ave welcomes Falmacão to the Estadio dos Acros.
Second consecutive bad result for Rio Ave in the league, the previous matchday they lost 3-1 at the home of Pasos Ferreira. He got back on the scoreboard at just 33 seconds but almost immediately after that he equalized and that's how the two teams went to the break. At the beginning of the replay, he found himself chasing the score again and although he pushed and missed opportunities to equalize, he did not succeed, so that the home team's third goal came in the 85th minute and the final result was established.
Being indifferent in points for a long time, Rio Ave after 35 matches is in 12th place with 39 points.
Falmacao fought back last week at home to Porto but couldn't avoid a 4-2 home defeat. He entered the match very badly and conceded two goals in the first quarter, but he reacted perfectly and tied the match with goals in the 33' and 44'. In the second half, she was unable to appear competitive and receptive, but with two goals, she was unable to take anything from the match.
This was the 4th match in a row for Falmacão who stay away from the three points and lost both mathematically and their last hope for the 6th place which under conditions would give a European ticket, at the end of the match he found her in 8th place with 43 points.
An indifferent game, with the two teams who, simply for reasons of prestige, will look for the victory that will give them the best possible placement in the final ranking. Both since the beginning of the year, but especially in the last matches, they score and concede goals with ease, I reasonably expect something similar in the duel between them.
