Team News

Rio Ave
Estrela da Amadora
  • Luís Freire will have a full squad to pick from on Saturday.
  • Hernâni and Boateng will be in competition to start out wide.
  • Aloíso got injured against FC Vizela and is another injury concern for Estrela. Vitó will likely replace him.
  • Léo Jabá was sent off last time around and serves a match ban. Heverton might start as a result.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC were able to consolidate their tactical processes during the break and will look to extend their unbeaten run. They're still at the dropout zone, however.
  • Estrela were dumped from the Portuguese Cup after going into extra time against FC Vizela. They were down to 10 men from the 85th minute, which could impact their fatigue coming into this match.
  • Playing at home, and considering that Estrela had less time to prepare for this match, Rio Ave FC should get all the spoils on Saturday.
