Team News

Rio Ave
Casa Pia AC
  • Vrousai might bring fresh legs to the left wing as he's back after serving a match ban.
  • Panzo could start at the heart of the defence if he manages to recover ahead of Saturday' game.
  • While on the bench, Ricardo Batista was red carded and won't feature here.
  • Nuno Moreira is a doubt for Saturday and might be replaced by Raúl Blanco.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave lost 5-0 to Benfica in a game in which they didn't even manage a shot on target. Luís Freire's men were completely dominated and will need to show some improvements if they want to get something from Saturday' game.
  • Casa Pia extended their run of good results with a home win over Nacional in their last game. The team has been very competent in defence. The only time they've conceded two or more goals in the last seven games was against Sporting CP.
  • Casa Pia's defensive cohesion should be a difficult obstacle to overcome, especially for a team like Rio Ave, who have had a lot of trouble creating goalscoring chances. With than in mind, a goalless draw wouldn't be a surprise here.
