📋 Team News: Boavista

Boavista boss Daniel Ramos will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this game with a completely injury-free squad to choose from. Nikola Stojiljkovic will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our opinion that As Panteras may well use the 3-4-2-1 system with Helton Leite, Gustavo Dulanto, Ricardo Costa, Neris, Marlon, Yaw Ackah, Nwankwo Obiorah, Carraça, Gustavo Affonso Sauerbeck, Heriberto Tavares and Cassiano.

📰 Team News: Moreirense

Moreirense manager Ricardo Soares has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ibrahima Camara (Unknown), David Texeira (Unknown) and Luther Singh (Broken foot) are not ready for selection.

We believe Os verdes e brancos seem likely to make use of a 4-1-4-1 system, starting Mateus Pasinato, Joao Aurelio, Lazar Rosić, Iago Santos, Abdu Conte, Fabio Pacheco, Bilel Aouacheria, Alex Soares, Filipe Miguel Barros Soares, Gabrielzinho and Fabio Abreu.

💭 Prediction

In this match, Moreirense have the firepower to get a goal against this Boavista team, but it possibly won’t be enough to prevent defeat. We can see a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Boavista after 90 minutes. We’ll have to see what happens.
