ℹ️ Team News: Vila Nova

Vila Nova manager Rafael Lacerda has not got a full squad to pick from. Éric Davis (Knee injury), Guilherme Parede (Cruciate ligament injury) and Marcondes (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.

💡 Prediction

In our opinion, Vila Nova certainly have the ability to break down this Athletic Club team, although that might not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Athletic Club after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
