📰 Team News: Farense

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Farense manager Tozé Marreco to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Ricardo Velho (Knee surgery) will miss out.

ℹ️ Team News: Santa Clara

From a largely available group, there is just a single fitness issue for the Santa Clara manager Vasco Matos to be concerned with. Pedro Pacheco (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Santa Clara and Farense could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. We’re therefore anticipating a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
