Gameday in Vila do Conde for the round 2 of the group B between Rio Ave & Sporting.

Rio Ave will be without Amaral, Joca & Lucas Flores.

Sporting is without Luis Neto, Bragança & St Juste.

Rio Ave made a good win over Maritimo but they were with 11 against 10 it made the difference. In domestic league they are ranked 10 with 5 wins, 3 draws & 5 losses for 16 goals scored & 18 goals conceded.

Sporting on their side made a huge win over Farense 6-0 I didn't expect such a strong performance, Paulinho was on fire. In domestic league Sporting is ranked 4 with 8 wins, 1 draw & 4 losses for 26 goals scored & 15 goals conceded.

Very good chance to win here on Sporting who is going on this game with a focus of 100% as the league cup is important for them as they compete to get all trophies and of course the domestic league this season looks impossible with SLB & Porto.

With players as Paulinho, Pedro Goncalves, Trincao, Edwards etc the quality difference is big here and I expect a strong win by Sporting.

I expect 0-2 or 0-3.
