Team News

Rio Ave
Vitoria de Guimaraes
  • Josué remains injured, meaning that Aderllan, Patrick William and Nóbrega will likely start at the heart of the defense.
  • Adrien Silva and Vrousai are doubts for Saturday. Only the latter was expected to feature from the start and should be replaced by Fábio Ronaldo if he fails to recover.
  • Nélson Oliveira and Bruno Gaspar are back available but only the latter is expected to start.
  • Handel scored the winner last time around and will likely feature at the middle of the park alongside Tiago Silva and Nuno Santos.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC got their 8th of their last 9 matches against FC Vizela last time around, meaning that they got 17 (!) draws during this season. The 'Vilacondenses' are not safe yet but a win could ensure them top flight competition next season.
  • Vitória SC got an important win against rivals Boavista FC last time around and are still dreaming with the top 4 and will look to win in order to pressure SC Braga and FC Porto.
  • The visitors haven't conceded goals to their next opponents on the last three matches between the sides and that might be continued on Saturday as they have a far better team and a clean sheet win is a likely scenario.
