How Rio Ave arrives
Rio Ave was very strong when playing at home. After all, they have lost only once in the last 21 games as principal, which shows their solidity at the Arcos stadium. In addition, they have won three of the last five clashes, which strengthen its growing evolution within the new technical committee.
The team will have an important minimum in defense because Jonathan Panzo is injured. Therefore, Andreas Nandoj and Francisco Petraso should form the couple of defenders. In midfield, Demir Ege Tiknaz will be responsible for the marking, while Ole Pohlmann and Brandon Aguilera will have more freedom to create theatrical works. In the attack, Clayton, author of the goal in the last game, will be the main offensive reference. In addition, he will have the support of the suggestions of Kiko Bondoso and Tiago Morais to try to pierce the opposite defense.
How port arrives
While the Ave river is solid, Porto has faced offensive difficulties. In the last six games, the dragons have scored only three goals and have passed empty on three occasions. The performance against Santa Clara, including, has opened this inefficiency. Despite the large domain, Porto needed an Optavio’s late goal to avoid defeat.
In turn, the club has an important undue appropriation in defense. While Ivan Marcano and Martim Fernandes are out, coach José Tavares should form the defensive line with João Mário, Tiago Djaló, Otávio and Francisco Moura.
In addition, in midfield, Marko Grujic will be another significant absence. Therefore, Alan Varela can form a double containment with Vasco Sousa. In the offensive sector, Fabio Vieira should play centralized, while Gonçalo Borges and Wenderson Galeno play on the sides. Finally, Deniz Gul will be responsible for commanding the attack.
