Team News

Vizela
Rio Ave
  • Bruno Costa and Sava Petrov remain injured and won't be available for Saturday' decisive game.
  • Busnic will boost options infield as he's fully recovered from a sprained knee.
  • With Pantalón and Josué injured, the heart of the defense should be filled by Aderllan, Patrick William and Miguel Nóbrega.
  • With Amine still injured, Teixeira and Tanlongo will probably start at the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • FC Vizela had a promising start against SC Braga last weekend but they ended up losing, as expected. That was their 5th consecutive defeat, and morale should be at a low point right now.
  • Rio Ave FC heads into this match after back-to-back draws, which is revealing of the 'King of Draws' nickname that's been given to them this season. They only lost one of their last 13 games and will try to keep it that way.
  • This is truly all or nothing for FC Vizela as they can be relegated if they fail to win on Saturday. With that in mind, they should not be cautious which could give us an open match with chances at both ends, favoring Rio Ave FC' fast break. An away win would not be a surprise.
