For their part, those led by Miguel Cardoso could not continue on the path of victories and thus in their last game they lost at home by the slightest difference to Famalicao and again it has been complicated with the issue of permanence.

And it is that although, Rio Ave is located in position nine, it must be said that they add twenty-two points, only four points more than Famalicao and Boavista, which are teams involved in the red zone, so they have to start to wake up.

The issue for Rio Ave is its irregularity playing as a visitor, it has only won two of its ten games in the Primeira Liga and for a change they have a Benfica against whom they have lost their last eight direct games.

Possible lineup: Pawel Kieszek (GK); Pedro Amaral, Aderlan Santos, Toni Borevkovic, Ivo Pinto; Carlos Mane, Pele, Chico Geraldes, Ryotaro Meshino, Rafael Camacho; Gelson Dala.
