Rio Ave is in the worst phase of the season, it has not won for 5 games, it still has 6 more points than the danger places but it has been falling some positions in the leaderboard. The championship break for the World Cup was not beneficial for the Rio Ave team either, the performances are weaker and if things stay like this they will have problems in the future.

In the last game for the championship they started to win 1-0, but saw Vizela turn the game around and lost 3-1. Rio Ave had a weak game, players made many mistakes, including the goalkeeper and defender Aderllan Santos saw the red card and could not play.

Sporting after losing the League Cup final against Porto played for the championship against Braga and convinced. They won 5-0 and played very well. Paulinho is suspended and in my opinion Sporting play better without him. Against Braga he didn't play and the team didn't give Braga the slightest chance.

Next week Sporting plays against Porto but the coach cannot rest players because he needs to win to finish at least in third place and Porto will play for the Portuguese Cup, so Sporting will be fresher in the game because they were out by Cup.

The Sporting coach said in the preview of this game that it is very important to win because his team needs a sequence of consecutive victories for the players to gain more confidence for the next challenges that will be complicated.

Paulinho and Coates are suspended.

Sporting away from home has not been very strong and this is the ideal game to win again away from home, in the last 2 away games they have not won. Rio Ave is weaker at the moment because the players are less confident and are not playing well. Sporting are the stronger team, they will have more scoring opportunities, if they play like they did in the last game they will win without any problems.

Ave正处于本赛季最糟糕的阶段，它已经有5场比赛没有赢球了，它仍然比危险的地方多6分，但它在排行榜上的位置已经下降了一些。世界杯的冠军间歇期对里约热内卢Ave队也没有好处，他们的表现更弱了，如果这样下去，他们在未来会遇到问题。

在争夺冠军的最后一场比赛中，他们一开始以1-0获胜，但看到维泽拉扭转局势，以3-1输掉了比赛。Ave踢得很弱，球员犯了很多错误，包括门将和后卫阿德兰·桑托斯看到红牌而无法上场。

竞技队在联赛杯决赛输给波尔图后，又为争夺冠军而对阵布拉加而折服。他们以5-0获胜，打得非常好。保利尼奥停赛了，在我看来，没有他的情况下，里斯本竞技踢得更好。在对阵布拉加的比赛中他没有上场，球队也没有给布拉加丝毫的机会。

下周，里斯本竞技将对阵波尔图，但主教练不能让球员休息，因为他必须赢得比赛才能以至少第三名的成绩结束比赛，而波尔图将参加葡萄牙杯的比赛，所以里斯本竞技在比赛中会更有活力，因为他们在杯赛中出局了。

体育教练在比赛预告中说，赢球非常重要，因为他的球队需要连续的胜利，让球员们获得更多的信心，以应对接下来将是复杂的挑战。

保利尼奥和科茨将停赛。

他们在客场的表现不是很好，这是在客场再次获胜的理想比赛，在过去的两场客场比赛中他们都没有赢过。阿维现在比较弱，因为球员们不太自信，踢得不好。里斯本竞技是一支更强的球队，他们会有更多的得分机会，如果他们像上一场比赛那样踢球，他们会毫无问题地赢得比赛。
