Team News

Boavista
Rio Ave
  • Pedro Gomes will miss out after reaching a milestone of bookings. Gonçalo Almeida will likely replace him.
  • Camará could start at Boavista' engine room if Bacci decides to ring the changes there.
  • After a goal and an assist last time out, Martim Neto will push for a start.
  • Petit was appointed as Rio Ave' new manager and remains to be seen wether he will make wholesale changes to the squad.

Prediction

  • Despite all the challenges Boavista has faced off the pitch, the team has managed to give a good competitive response, as shown by last Sunday's victory over Gil Vicente. Cristiano Bacci's men will be looking to follow that up with another win against their supporters.
  • Rio Ave drew 2-2 with Casa Pia last time around, which led to the sacking of Luís Freire. Petit has been appointed as his replacement and the team will be looking to benefit from a new manager bounce.
  • Petit knows Boavista well, which could be beneficial for his new team, especially given the challenges the Axadrezados are facing. A win for the visitors is therefore to be expected
