Team News

Rio Ave
Famalicao
  • Luís Freire might ring the changes to his side after the 4-0 defeat to Braga. Fábio Ronaldo, João Novais and Tiago Morais might have a chance to start as a result.
  • Clayton should get the nod over Hassan once again.
  • Sorriso picked up an ankle injury and will miss out here.
  • Rochinha and Rafa Soares are doubts for Friday. Gil Dias and Diogo Costa will start if they fail to recover.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave lost 4-0 to Braga last weekend. Whilst it's true that a Braga victory would have been a likely outcome, the truth is that such result were not to be expected. Luís Freire's men will need to improve their defensive process if they want to get back to winning ways.
  • Famalicão seem to have lost some gas after a fantastic start to the season. They've drawn their last three matches, two of which were at home. Armando Evangelista's team have been a little sloppy in their finishing.
  • Rio Ave' defense (if they're on a good day) isn't the ideal obstacle for FC Famalicão' attack to overcome. With that in mind, the hosts could get a clean sheet win here.
