Team News

Rio Ave
Braga
  • Josué reached a milestone of bookings and won't feature on Saturday. Pantalon, who's back after serving a match ban, will likely replace him.
  • Either Adrien Silva or João Graça will feature alongside Oudrhiri at the middle of the park.
  • Ricardo Horta has a muscular problem and won't be available for the next month. Roger Fernandes and Bruma, who scored last weekend, should start out wide as a result.
  • Zalazar and Moutinho will be in competition to start infield.

Prediction

  • After upsetting leaders Sporting CP, Rio Ave FC held Moreirense FC to a scoreless draw last time around, which should be seen as positive results. However, they've only won once in the last 8 matches which brings them close to the dangerous zone (they're only one point above it).
  • SC Braga had some trouble to beat Estrela but ended up winning 3-0 thanks to a decent 2nd half. They're enjoying a 4-match winning run across all competitions and seem to have improved after being eliminated from the Europa League.
  • The visitors have a better team but playing in Estádio dos Arcos is always a tough task. With that in mind, and given that the 'Vilacondenses' were able to upset other title candidates, Braga might struggle to beat Rio Ave on Saturday.
