Rio Ave and Boavista know the difficulties they had in working with the new season in mind. O ghost Not being able to register players will have caused Luís Freire and Petit to prepare games out of fear of losing athletes and not having new ones.
As such, this Sunday’s game puts two teams on the same side of the barricade that know each other’s pain, but it was Boavista who knew best how to overcome this problem. Rio Ave started well, but is going through an unprecedented period – four consecutive defeats for the League – and will enter the field in last place in the League.

The two teams arrive at this Sunday’s game, after losing in the last round. Rio Ave’s defeat was more painful, especially because the Vilacondenses team were winning until very close to the end, but the Chess team were defeated at home, against Sporting, and have not won in four league games (two defeats and two draws).
Confident coaches
Defeats always force teams to have another type of concentration and preparation and at the start of the game, the two coaches, Luís Freire and Petit were very convinced that the game will be different.
The Rio Ave coach even revealed an «absolute belief» in victory, also mentioning that the team has «shot itself a few times» at the end of the games. On the other hand, Petit considered that the Vila do Conde game must be “faced with a very big alert, as if it were a final.”
In the fight for points, Rio Ave must move circumstantially, making it possible to include Leonardo Ruiz in the offensive axis. Boavista, through the voice of Petit, confirmed the return of Bruno Onyemaechi and the Nigerian should be the only change made to the Panthers’ starting team.
