Team News

Farense
Rio Ave
  • Muscat' return will boost the hosts' defensive options on Saturday.
  • Mattheus Oliveira was benched last time around but will likely get his place back at Starting XI.
  • Nóbrega went off injured last time around and is doubtful for Saturday. Pantalón will replace him if he fails to recover.
  • Boateng and Joca will be in competition to start out wide.

Prediction

  • Farense increased their winning drought to 7 matches after losing 2-1 to Vizela away from home. The 'Algarvios' only got two points during that period, which brought them closer to the dangerous zone.
  • Rio Ave had another fine performance last weekend as they held SC Braga to a scoreless draw. They haven't won in 4 matches, but that's not as bad as it sounds since they were able to get points from the matches against title contenders Sporting and Braga.
  • The visitors have been improving and should be hard to beat, even playing at Estádio São Luís, where Farense are usually able to take advantage of the home factor.
