    • Rodrigo Mora is enjoying a delightful run of form and will be full of confidence for Saturday's game.
    • Nehuen Pérez will miss the last league game of the season after being sent off last time out. Otávio start as a result.
    • Fábio Vieira was moved forward as Pepê was relegated to the bench. It wouldn't be a surprise if that happens again.

    • Dyego Sousa is available and will boost options up front, but he is unlikely to get the nod over Tagueu or Isaac.
    • André Santos made an impact from the bench and could feature from the outset here.
    • Tiago Margarido might opt for a three-man backline once again if José Gomes doesn't recover, with Paulinho Bóia starting at left wing-back.
