Two teams with very different pasts meet, this Monday, in Vila do Conde. There are only two hypotheses: reverse gear or engage third gear. Between Rio Ave and FC Porto, the duel will be tough.
Reverse gear. Life in Rio de Janeiro, at the start of the season, has been confusing. With the forced absence of reinforcements, Luís Freire has little defined room for manoeuvre. entered the championship to winbut the visit to Amoreira was not so happy.
The biggest problem in the visit to the Estoril Praia field was just one: the lack of efficiency in the last third. Against FC Porto, Luís Freire says have a planwith a good organization and desire to enjoy the duel to the fullest.
The options must not be different from the last ones used. Rio Ave has a consistent base eleven, with an attacking front that is showing itself. Now, it’s up to them to decide whether they want to reverse the course of the results.
Engage the third. FC Porto, the victorious path and the reinforcements on the pitch. The dragons arrive at Vila do Conde with two victories, both with the same result – 2-1 in Moreira de Canons and in front of Farense.
Gabriel Veron, Evanilson and Romário Baró are the options that Sérgio Conceição – who will not be on the bench due to suspension – will not be able to count on. However, reinforcements Nico González (former starter), Fran Navarro and Alan Varela are ready to take on the challenge.
With the official departure of Otávio to Saudi Arabia, the Spanish midfielder is most likely to take over the place left by the Portuguese international, but no big changes are expected in the blue and white scheme. Thus, the blue and white team leaves with ambition to pick up the third victory.
