Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Chaves
After failing to spoil Porto’s party at Estadio do Dragao, Santa Clara will look to put an end to their nine-game losing run in the Primeira Liga when they face Chaves on Matchday 29. Os Acoreanos are low on confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash, and given their slim survival chances, home win should not be considered. Forward Kyosuke Tagawa is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the 2-1 loss to Porto, while defender Paulo Henrique is back from suspension.
Os Valentes, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over league leaders Benfica, and we predict that they will take advantage of Santa Clara’s shaky defence. Both Nwankwo Obiorah and Jonathan Arriba are major doubts, while there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Ponta Delgada.
