My people, na wetin we go talk today be say Rio Ave don dey feel heat o! Dem wan face Moreirense for Estádio dos Arcos, and e no be small matter.
This match na part of Primeira Liga gameweek 22, and as we see am, the hosts dem dey under plenty pressure! Rio Ave dey sit for 15th position, two points above relegation zone. Na wah! Dem don lose their last four league matches, and their confidence don dey shake like jellof wey dem forget for fire.
For the last match wey dem play, dem fall hand for 3-0 against Braga. Na every match na dem dey concede like say na dem dem use mouth blew goal for the opposing team. Between December and now, dem don concede 12 goals without scoring any! This kind trend fit to carry dem go relegation, oh.
On top this matter, coach wey dem dey call Silaidopoulos don dey under fire as people dey talk say he fit lose job if things no change soon. Meanwhile, Moreirense no too dey shine either, but dem don fit win three out of dem last six matches. Na dem dey chase European qualification, and dem go like take the opportunity chop Rio Ave.
Moreirense come into this match after dem lose 2-1 against Gil Vicente. Even though dem try fight back, concedes late goal wey chop dem point. But hope dey; dem get slight edge due to better form, and na dem get the confidence wey Rio Ave dey lack.
In terms of injuries, Rio Ave dey miss some players, including Brandon Aguilera, wey don sideline for rest of the season. Their goalkeeper sef dey out too, wey spoil things wella! Moreirense meanwhile dey face small injury wahala, but dem go still carry plenty fight as dem get coach Da Costa back after suspension.
Start line-up fit look like this: For Rio Ave, e fit be Van der Gouw for goalkeeper; Brabec, Petrasso, and Abbey as defenders; O Richards, Nikitscher, and Vrousai for midfield; Bezerra and Blesa for attack. Moreirense go deploy Ferreira for goal; Pinto, Batista, and Kiko for backline; Alanzinho and Alonso dem go run midfield with Travassos and Semedo up front.
If dem no fit reinvent demself today, fear no go let dem sleep tonight. Moreirense go fancy dem chance to pick point for Vila do Conde, because as e be now, both teams dey waka on the same path of struggle. Na win we go see, but who sabi? Let’s see as dem go fit put new twist for dis match! Make we all just carry dem eye watch!
