📋 Team News: Santa Clara

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Santa Clara boss Daniel Ramos to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. Júlio Romão (Knee Injury) is out of contention.

Boavista boss Jesualdo Ferreira has to choose a team with limited availability. Jorge Benguche (Corona virus), Miguel Reisinho (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Nuno Santos (Unknown Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Boavista will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Santa Clara lineup who we think might well score & stay on top.

We’re going for a narrow 1-0 advantage for Santa Clara at the end of the 90.
