Rio Ave
- Fuki Yamada made an impact coming from the bench, scoring just a minute after being subbed on and will push for a start out either out wide or at the middle of the park.
- Daniel Penha and Matheus Dias will be in competition to start at the middle of the park, with the former probably getting the nod after bagging an assist last weekend.
- Gustavo Garcia was surprisingly left on the bench last time around but should regain his Starting XI spot back at the right-hand side of the defense.
- João Tomé might have a chance to start since Marios Vrousai will serve a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings. Omar Richards should feature at the opposite flank.
- Petit might name the same trio that started at Rio Ave' engine room last time around, although Martim Neto is also a viable option to start there after scoring last time around.
- Clayton rescued his goal scoring form last time around and will be full of confidence here.
