ℹ️ Team News: Estoril

Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Estoril boss Ricardo Soares to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. Lucas Áfrico (Unknown Injury) will miss out.

In our view, Canarinhos could use the 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select D. Leite Figueira, Tiago Santos, Pedro Álvaro, Mexer, Tiago Araújo, João Gamboa, João Carvalho, Tiago Gouveia, Mor Ndiaye, Rafik Guitane and Cassiano.

🗞️ Team News: Chaves

Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the Chaves boss Vítor Campelos to be concerned about. Jonny Arriba (Unknown Injury) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Chaves seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, starting Gonçalo Pinto, Nélson Monte, Steven Vitoria, João Queirós, Bruno Langa, Joao Teixeira, João Pedro Machado, R. M. Guimarães, Benny, Juninho and Euller.

⚡ Prediction

In our view, Chaves will have to work hard as a team to find the net against this Estoril outfit who we think might well end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Estoril at the end of the 90.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
