Team News

Rio Ave
Sporting
  • Patrick William should have a chance to start as Aderllan Santos serves a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Embaló and Boateng will be in competition to feature out wide.
  • Other than St. Juste and Paulinho, Sporting CP have a clean bill of health for Sunday.
  • Morita was rested in midweek and will bring fresh legs to the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC delivered a fine performance against FC Famalicão but came away empty handed. However, Luís Freire's men have been improving and should be a tough bone to chew here.
  • Sporting CP's wonderful run of form continued last Monday with a convincing 2-0 win over Moreirense, extending their winning run in the league to eight matches in the process. Rúben Amorim's men should be full of confidence here.
  • Playing in Vila do Conde is always a tough task for any team in the league but Sporting CP are enjoying a delightful run of form and aren't expected to slip up here.
