Team News

Rio Ave
Gil Vicente
  • Embaló and Joca will start out wide as Boateng serves a match ban.
  • Amine and Josué went off injured against Boavista and might miss out on Saturday, giving Tanlongo and William a chance to start.
  • Depú made an impact coming from the bench last weekend and will likely get the nod over Alipour here.
  • Zé Carlos have returned to action last weekend and will be in competition with Alex Pinto to start at the right hand side of the defense.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC showed why their called Primeira Liga' 'Draw Kings' as they had the 5th consecutive draw against Boavista last time around. The 'Vilacondenses' had 14 draws in 27 matches, but will need to convert that into wins as they aim to avoid the relegation zone.
  • Gil Vicente almost came back from a 2-goal deficit against rivals FC Famalicão, but ended up losing the derby by 2-1. Campelos' men haven't won in the last 5 games and only got a win from the last 9 matches.
  • It wouldn't be a surprise if this match ended in a draw given Rio Ave FC' recent results and Gil Vicente 'aversion' to victory. Expect both sides to cancel each out on Saturday.
