Chaves vs Rio Ave team news
Chaves
Chaves ended up well and truly beaten when they played host to the league leaders Sporting last time out. The visitors took the lead shortly before the interval and two quick goals in the second half ended any hopes of a Chaves comeback.
Habib Sylla is injured while the Chaves duo Bruno Langa and Guima are both away with an unfancied Mozambique at AFCON 2023.
Predicted Lineup: Souza (GK), Fernandes, Vitória, Correia, Cruz, Rodrigues, Ribeiro, Nwakali, Morim, Hernández & Sanca
Rio Ave
Rio Ave made the tricky trip to Benfica last weekend where despite scoring the first goal through Guga, the game ended in a predictable defeat for the visitors. Benfica equalised before the break and scored a further three times in the second half. Rio Ave lost defender Aderllan Santos to a second yellow card just before the hour mark which made their task so much tougher.
Aderllan Santos now misses the trip to Chaves this weekend but Rio Ave have a clean bill of health so should be able to adapt to the loss of a single defender without too much trouble.
Predicted Lineup: Jhonatan (GK), William, Sá, Nóbrega, Costinha, Oudrhiri, Graça, Guga, Joca, Boateng & Ronaldo

Player to Watch: Emmanuel Boateng
Rio Ave's Emmanuel Boateng will have been disappointed to miss out on Ghana's Africa Cup of Nations squad but his country's loss is his club's gain.
Boateng has scored four league goals so far this season making him Rio Ave's top goalscorer and the 27-year-old looks set to surpass his tally of six goals from the previous campaign.
With both Rio Ave and Chaves battling it out for their Primeira Liga survival, any points in these types of games will be warmly received and we're backing Boateng to play his part in Rioa Ave picking up a decent point on Sunday.
