Team News

Rio Ave
Arouca
  • Patrick William was sent off last time around and will serve a match ban. Panzo should replace him at the heart of the defense.
  • Kiko Bondoso might start at right-wing back, relegating Tomé to the bench.
  • Chico Lamba should start at the heart of the defense once again as Galovic and Fontán remain injured.
  • Henrique Araújo should be full of confidence after netting the winner last weekend and will likely get the nod over Trezza upfront.

Prediction

  • After consecutive defeats to Moreirense and Vitória SC, FC Arouca picked up their first 3 points of the season by beating Nacional 1-0. The team showed more fluidity in attack, but there's still room for improvement.
  • FC Porto's strong start to the game prevented Rio Ave from dreaming of a good result last weekend. The Vilacondenses went into the break 2-0 down and with a lesser men, which made it impossible to turn things around.
  • Rio Ave were unable to beat FC Arouca in each of the last three meetings between the sides, but playing at home against an opponent that are still under construction should make them break that streak. An home win is expected.
