Breakneck pace in the championship as we approach the end of the 2023/2024 edition.
This Saturday, Rio Ave FC will compete in the 31st round of the competition with a trip to the home of the ‘red bottom’, FC Vizela.
Despite the punctual difference (10 points), and the fact that the Vizelenses are eight points behind the remaining places, a very difficult game is expected for the Rioa fans as this round could even dictate the relegation of the opponent who, of course, will have maximum commitment to go against destiny.
With greater emotional and qualifying balance, Rio Ave FC will seek to extend an unbeatable scenario that has now spanned eight consecutive rounds, just one away from equaling their respective record, exclusively belonging to the teams led by Félix Mourinho (81/82) and Carlos Carvalhal (19/20).
Winning is, naturally, the objective because the sum of three points will put the Vilacondenses in a privileged position to close the accounts and approach the last rounds without the need for a calculator.
For the trip to Vizela, Luís Freire has three doubts about the squad. Josué, Amine and Renato Pantalon, struggling with recent injuries, are trying to regain their rhythm and despite having already resumed training during the week, their use this Saturday is not clear.
The massive presence of rioavista supporters is guaranteed. A few hundred villagers will exhaust the visiting sector at the FC Vizela Stadium.
The game between Vizela and Rio Ave FC starts at 3:30 pm this Saturday, refereed by Hélder Malheiro.
