Team News

Rio Ave
Farense
  • Medína was signed in midweek but isn't expected to feature yet.
  • Kiko Bondoso might start, relegating Olinho to the bench.
  • Alejandro Bermejo scored last weekend and will push for a start out wide.
  • Pastor is back from suspension and will be in competition with Rivaldo to start at the right-hand side of the defense.

Prediction

  • Luís Freire is still implementing some changes at the club and the team is still looking for the best routines. This was evident in the game against Sporting, where they lost 3-0. Playing at home, they'll be looking to pick up their first points of the new season.
  • Farense didn't get off to the best of starts, losing 2-1 at home to a Moreirense side that was down to 10 men in the last half hour of the game. José Mota's men still managed to equalise, but ended up conceding a goal when they were on the attack seeking the three points.
  • The last meeting between the sides in Vila do Conde was one to remember, with Farense beating the hosts by 4-3. A different result is expected here, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the visitors managed to get something from their trip to the North.
