Team News

Rio Ave
Chaves
  • Rio Ave had a quiet transfer market which means that they're first Starting XI in the league shouldn't be much different from the last match of the previous season.
  • Boateng will likely get the nod over Zé Manuel out wide.
  • Abass faces suspension as he serves suspension after being sent off in the last match of the previous season.
  • Guima will miss out due to the same reason, which means that Pedro Pinho, João Pedro and Ktatau should start at the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC didn't lose any significant players, which should build confidence heading into another season in the top flight. They will look to finish at the top half of the table.
  • GD Chaves had deep renovations on their structure as they've changed their coach and some of their key players. José Gomes' men have already lost in the league cup this season and aren't expected to be confident, especially without two key players.
  • Given the visitor's absences and Rio Ave FC's consistency, an home win is the likeliest scenario for Sunday.
