📋 Team News: Famalicão
There is just the lone fitness concern for the Famalicão boss João Pedro Sousa to be concerned about due to a largely intact group of players. Puma (Ruptured knee ligament) is out of contention.
📋 Team News: Rio Ave
Rio Ave boss Luís Freire has multiple availability issues to deal with. André Pereira (Unknown Injury) and Joca (Knee Injury) won’t be making appearances.
⚡ Prediction
Our thinking is that Rio Ave will need to push hard to find the net against this Famalicão outfit who will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought 1-0 win for Famalicão at the end of this one.
A close call.
