Team News

Rio Ave
Casa Pia AC
  • Adrien Silva will likely make his debut with the new club here, although coming from the bench.
  • Boateng was sent off against FC Porto, which hands Leonardo Ruiz a chance to start.
  • With Zolotic injured, Varela and Tchamba will likely start at the heart of the defense.
  • Nuno Moreira should feature out wide once again, leaving Tiago Dias and Yuki Soma competing for a starting spot.

Prediction

  • Despite being tired, Rio Ave FC were able to spring an upset at Estádio do Dragão, holding FC Porto to a scoreless draw. Back at home they will look to put an end to a 4-match winning drought.
  • Casa Pia AC were also involved on a scoreless draw last time around since Boavista FC kept them scoreless. Prior to that, the 'Gansos lost 8-0 to Sporting CP in a poor defensive showing that reflects their frailties at the back.
  • Both sides are at a precarious position at the league table and are expected to be cautious on their approach. With that in mind, a low scoring match is expected with Rio Ave possibly coming out on top.
