Team News

Rio Ave
Farense
  • Other than Joca, Luís Freire will have a full squad available here.
  • Patrick William and Guga should start after featuring from the bench last time out.
  • Gonçalo Silva is back available for league action and could start here.
  • Mattheus Oliveira and Bruno Duarte should all return to Starting XI after featuring from the bench last time out.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC were dumped from the Portuguese Cup by a 2nd tier team last time around, stretching their awful losing run to 4 matches. They will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they look to escape the relegation zone.
  • SC Farense were also eliminated from the cup by a 2nd tier team, losing 3-2 to Vilaverdense. However, José Mota' men are in a better mood than their next opponents as they're at 13th place in the league.
  • After unexpected defeats last weekend, both sides will be cautious on their approach, which could give us a low scoring affair.
