Team News

Boavista
Rio Ave
  • Sasso and Abascal are doubts for Saturday which might make Ibrahima Camará start at the heart of the defense.
  • Bruno and Chidozie will have late returns from International Duty, but they're expected to start anyway.
  • Nóbrega is still with a muscular problem and could miss out here.
  • João Teixeira could feature at left-wing back if Luís Freire names the same squad that faced Farense last time around.

Prediction

  • Boavista FC had a promising start against Sporting CP but ended up losing by 6-1 to the Lions. The 'Axadrezados' lost three of the last 5 games and are getting closer to the dropout zone.
  • Rio Ave FC are also in danger of getting into the bottom three, but they have been improving their game lately as it shows from the valuable draws they got against title contenders Sporting CP and SC Braga (at home) and SC Farense and Moreirense FC (on the road).
  • The hosts will have key absentees at the back (or at least they will not be fully fit), which could give Rio Ave FC a chance to get 3 crucial points in the battle to avoid relegation.
