Team News

AVS Futebol SAD
Rio Ave
  • Jaume Grau put on a wonderful performance last time around and will likely start at the middle of the park.
  • Ochoa, Gustavo Assunção and Rodrigo Ribeiro were all signed during deadline day and might make an appearance here.
  • Patrick William brings fresh legs to the heart of the defense after facing suspension last time around.
  • Omar Richards should get the nod over Fábio Ronaldo at left-wing back.

Prediction

  • Although they put up a fight, AVS were unable to bring any points back from their trip to the Azores as they lost 2-1 to Santa Clara. Vítor Campelos' men have been competitive and had an important squad reinforcement at deadline day with the signings of Gustavo Assunção, Ochoa and Rodrigo Ribeiro.
  • Rio Ave picked up their second win at home this season in the last game before the International Break. Luís Freire's team has been solid in defence and should be a tough nut to crack for any opponent.
  • Both teams have shown quality in their defending and should allow few chances. With that in mind, a goalless draw wouldn't be a shocking result.
