Team News

Rio Ave
Estoril
  • Other than Sina there will be no injury concerns for the hosts.
  • Patrick William and Pantalon will be fighting for a spot at centre-back.
  • Hélder Costa went off injured last time around and is a doubt for Saturday. Fabrício Garcia should replace him if he fails to recover.
  • João Carvalho scored a wonderful goal last time around and will be boosted here.

Prediction

  • An excellent display from Ochoa prevented Rio Ave from leaving Vila das Aves with points. They put in a good display and kept their defensive solidity, which was only broken thanks to a fantastic goal from a bicycle kick.
  • Despite a hesitant start, Estoril managed to take control of the game against Nacional and picked up their first win of the season. Ian Cathro's men will be looking to follow that up on Saturday by picking up a point or three.
  • Rio Ave are a very difficult team to beat on their home turf and, despite Estoril' cofidence, they can't be expected to break through Vilacondense's defensive wall.
