Riccielli scored the winner against Belenenses SAD, but will miss out through suspension here. Alex Nascimento will deputise. Rúben Lima went off injured last time out and is a doubt for Sunday. Marin will replace him if he fails to recover. Ivo Rodrigues has been used as a right wing-back, but will likely play in a deeper role here, which opens the door for Hernán de la Fuente to start, while relegating Bruno Rodrigues to the bench. Baixinho and Flávio Ramos will start at the heart of the defence due to Maracás' knee injury. Denilson Júnior will serve a ban after he was sent off against SL Benfica. João Pedro should replace him provided he has recovered from COVID-19 in time. Otherwise, César Peixoto will need to adapt a winger to lead the charge Luiz Carlos and Nuno Santos are available after missing out last time out and will bring fresh legs to the middle of the park.
After a frustrating draw with SC Braga, FC Famalicão returned to winning ways in midweek against Belenenses SAD, which has lifted them out of the relegation zone. FC Paços de Ferreira were unable to threaten the SL Benfica goal last time out and were comprehensively defeated by the Eagles. Prior to that match, César Peixoto's men got back-to-back victories with decisive goals from Denilson. The Brazilian striker will not feature here, which is a major blow for the visitors. However, FC Famalicão have had less time to prepare for this match, which should even things out here. A draw is on the cards. 1:1
