Team News: AVS
It seems likely that AVS should kick off with a 3-4-3 system, beginning the first half with Guillermo Ochoa, Cristian Devenish, Baptiste Roux, Kiki, Fernando Fonseca, Jaume Grau, Gustavo Assunção, Lucas Piazón, John Mercado, Ze Luis and Babatunde Akinsola.
📰
Team News: Moreirense
Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Moreirense boss Cristiano Bacci to be concerned about. Hernâni (Ankle sprain) won’t be in action.
It’s our belief that Os verdes e brancos might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Caio Gobbo Secco, Dinis Pinto, Michel, Marcelo, Godfried Frimpong, Benny, Ivo Rodrigues, Joel Jorquera, Alanzinho, Cedric Teguia and Guilherme Schettine.
✨
Prediction
We envisage that Moreirense are likely to score against this AVS team, but it possibly won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re predicting a 2-1 advantage for AVS at the end of the 90 minutes. Hopefully this is a good one.
