Team News

Rio Ave
Estoril
  • Miguel Nóbrega was sent off last time around and serves a match ban.
  • On the other hand, Aderllan Santos is back available and will likely replace him at the heart of the defense.
  • Rodrigo Gomes is back available after missing out last weekend and will boost Vasco Seabra' options out wide.
  • Koba Koindredi will probably be a Sporting CP player by the time this match starts, which opens the Starting XI door to Holgsrove.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC held GD Chaves to a scoreless draw and got an important point last time out. The 'Rioavistas' have improved their game and only lost to Benfica (in a match where they delivered a wonderful performance) in the last 3 games.
  • Estoril Praia comes into this match after a wonderful performance at the league cup. They've beaten Benfica at the semi-finals before losing only on penalties to SC Braga.
  • Fatigue might get into play for the visitors, which combined with Rio Ave' improvements should give the hosts an important win.
