Estoril and Rio Ave meet in early season Liga Portugal clash
The Liga Portugal season is still in its infancy, with Estoril and Rio Ave set to meet for the third matchday of the campaign. Both sides will be looking to build momentum and establish themselves in the early stages of the competition. The match is scheduled to take place at the Antonio Coimbra da Mota stadium.
Estoril will be without the services of Xeka, who is suspended for this fixture. The midfielder's absence could disrupt their usual midfield dynamics. Rio Ave, meanwhile, are dealing with an injury to Cezary Miszta, a significant blow to their defensive options. The goalkeeper's unavailability will likely see Ennio van der Gouw stepping in between the posts.
Estoril have endured a difficult start to their last 10 matches, failing to secure a victory in their most recent competitive outings. A 2-0 loss to Nacional on 16 August followed a 1-1 draw with Famalicao. Prior to that, their pre-season friendly against Torreense ended goalless. Their last league win came on 16 May, a 1-3 defeat to Benfica, highlighting a challenging period of results.
Rio Ave have also experienced a mixed bag of results in their last 10 games. They began their Liga Portugal campaign with consecutive defeats, losing 0-2 to FC Porto and 1-0 to Gil Vicente. However, their pre-season results showed some promise, including a 2-1 victory over Arouca. Their league form towards the end of the previous season was also inconsistent, with a draw against Casa Pia AC and a heavy defeat to Sporting CP.
The head-to-head record between Estoril and Rio Ave offers a varied picture. In their most recent encounter on 22 March 2026, Rio Ave secured a 1-2 victory. However, earlier in the 2025-2026 season, Estoril achieved a dominant 0-4 away win. The teams have also shared draws and wins in previous seasons, suggesting that matches between them can be unpredictable.
Estoril are expected to field a lineup featuring Yanis Begraoui and Andre Lacximicant in attack, supported by midfielders Joao Carvalho, Rafik Guitane, and Alejandro Orellana. The defence is likely to consist of Antef Tsoungui, Fernando Medrano, Ismael Sierra, Ferro, and Ricard Sanchez, with Joel Robles in goal. Rio Ave's expected XI includes forwards Central SC, Tamble Monteiro, and Jalen Blesa, with Tamas Nikitscher and Diogo Nascimento in midfield. Roland Galcik could also feature in attack. The defence is anticipated to be made up of Nelson Abbey, Gustavo Mancha, Francisco Petrasso, and Giorgos Liavas, with Ennio van der Gouw starting in goal.
