Vitoria Guimaraes

Vitoria Guimaraes step into the encounter with no wins in the last four matches. Crucially, three of these games have been away from home. The club has generally done well when they have played at the Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques so far this season. Vitoria Guimaraes coach Moreno will be without Ze Carlos and Tomas Handel due to injuries.

Rio Ave

Rio Ave head into the encounter with their confidence dampened by the dropped points against Maritimo. Once again, Rio Ave were disappointing in the offensive areas in the last match.
