Goncalo Ramos is doubtful because of an injury.

They are on a six-match unbeaten streak, winning on five occasions while drawing once. Only at the end of December 2022 that they suffered a defeat and being one month removed from that bitter taste would surely feel good for them. They finished January 2023 with a 0-3 win over Arouca, an all-around display that saw Joao Mario score a brace with Petar Musa providing the other goal. They will be on their toes with Enzo’s departure and would like to give an early signal that they can continue without the Argentine midfielder.

Casa Pia
