Rio Ave are living a good moment under the coach Luis Freire. In the last and first game of the League Cup - Group B they won in Estadio dos Barreiros in Madeira against Maritimo by 1-0, but they started really bad the game. Maritimo was creating many chances until the striker Chuchu Ramirez got a red card and suddenly the game changed as expected as Rio Ave was playing with 11 players against 10 from Maritimo. Rio Ave played that game (and will play without him against Sporting CP aswell) without the best player - Yakubu Aziz that is loaned by Vitoria Guimaraes, he is one of the fastest players from the league and without him Rio Ave cannot play the same way they do in every game, trying to explore the space behind the defense as the player that replaces him Leonardo Ruiz is not fast and they will change completely the way they play. Rio Ave will need to win this game if they want to get qualified as Sporting won 6-0 Farense in the first round so the goal average of Sporting CP will be bigger than any team in case they end with the same points. I cannot see them beating Sporting, and if the game was for the league they would be happy with 1 point and here they need to take more risks to win and Sporting CP can destroy them due to that. One of their best players is injured and will miss almost the whole season - Joca - that last season did a suberb season and was one of the main responsibles for the title of Rio Ave.

Probable line-up: Jhonatan; Costinha - Josue - Aderllan Santos - Pedro Amaral - Paulo Vitor; Guga - Vitor Gomes - Baeza; Leonardo Ruiz and Boateng.

Sporting CP are very motivated for this game after beating at home Farense by 6-0. The coach Ruben Amorim due to this long break due to the World Cup 2022 he decided not to rotate the team and played with the best possible XI to give rhythm to his players. And for this game the XI should be even better as he already said that the best goalkeeper Adan will play (in the last game Sporting played with Franco Israel instead of Adan, but Adan is clearly better) and Manuel Ugarte that went with Uruguay to the World Cup but did 0 minutes was called for the game aswell and can be a starter - he is one of the best midfielders of Sporting together with Morita that is still not in Lisbon as Japan was eliminated few days ago. Sporting knows that Rio Ave need to take risks to win the game and will give more space than usual and with many fast and talented players as they have in the attack will destroy them.

Probable line-up: Adan; Pedro Porro - Gonçalo Inacio - Marsa - Matheus Reis - Nuno Santos; Ugarte - Pedro Gonçalves; Francisco Trincao - Marcus Edwards and Paulinho.

在路易斯·弗莱雷的带领下，我们过得很好。在联赛杯B组的最后一场也是第一场比赛中，他们在马德拉的巴雷罗斯球场以1-0战胜了马里蒂莫，但他们的开局非常糟糕。马里蒂莫创造了很多机会，直到前锋Chuchu Ramirez吃到红牌，比赛突然像预期的那样发生了变化，里约热内卢Ave以11人对阵马里蒂莫的10人。里约热内卢Ave打了那场比赛(也会在没有他的情况下对阵CP竞技)，没有最好的球员——雅库布·阿齐兹，他是维多利亚·吉马aes租借来的，他是联赛中速度最快的球员之一，没有他里约热内卢Ave就不能在每场比赛中都打出同样的表现，试图探索防守后的空间，因为取代他的球员里奥纳多·鲁伊斯速度不快，他们将完全改变他们的打法。Ave如果想要获得出线资格就必须赢下这场比赛，因为sport在首轮以6-0战胜了Farense，所以如果他们以相同的分数结束比赛，sport CP的平均进球数将比任何球队都大。我不认为他们会击败里斯本竞技，如果比赛是为了联赛，他们会很高兴拿到1分，而在这里他们需要冒更多的风险来赢得比赛，而里斯本竞技可能会因此而摧毁他们。他们最好的球员之一约卡受伤了，几乎将缺席整个赛季，他上赛季表现不佳，是里约热内卢Ave冠军的主要责任之一。

可能阵容:Jhonatan;科斯蒂尼亚-若苏-阿德兰-桑托斯-佩德罗·阿马拉尔-保罗·维特;古加-维托尔·戈梅斯-巴伊扎;鲁伊兹和博阿滕。

在主场以6-0击败法伦斯后，利物浦对这场比赛充满了动力。主教练鲁本·阿莫里姆由于2022年世界杯的长时间休息，他决定不轮换球队，并尽可能地使用最好的11人阵容来给他的球员带来节奏。体育知道里约热内卢Ave需要冒险来赢得比赛，他们会比平时提供更多的空间，他们在进攻中拥有许多快速和有天赋的球员，这将摧毁他们。

可能阵容:阿丹;佩德罗·波罗- Gonçalo伊纳西奥-马萨-马修斯·雷斯-努诺·桑托斯;乌加特-佩德罗Gonçalves;Francisco Trincao, Marcus Edwards和保利尼奥。
