Team News

Portimonense
Rio Ave
  • Other than Zinho, Paulo Sérgio will have a full squad to pick from.
  • Guga is back available and will likely start at the right-hand side of the defense for the hosts, replacing the now suspended Igor Formiga
  • Tanlongo misses out due to an accumulation of bookings, paving the way for Adrien Silva to start at the middle of the park.
  • Joca is out of action due to the same reason and might be replaced by Fábio Ronaldo here.

Prediction

  • Portimonense were understandably defeated by Sporting CP last weekend, allowing their direct rivals to extend their gap to the dropout zone. They're in serious danger of finishing among the bottom three and will need to win if they want to avoid it.
  • Rio Ave FC extended their unbeaten run last weekend as they've defeated Vitória SC by 2-1. That win ensure them top flight competition next season, which will take the pressure of the 'Vilacondenses' shoulders.
  • Portimonense have a crucial game in the fight to stay up. Nothing but victory will matter, so they're expected to look for a goal from the start of the match against a more relaxed Rio Ave.
