According to O Jogo, Léo Santos must serve a suspension after receiving his ninth yellow card.

That leaves Gonçalves as the sole option in central defence, as Tiago Margarido cannot count on Ulisses, who is recovering from injury.

Gonçalves has made five appearances, one in the Taça de Portugal, totalling 305 minutes.

The fixture will be played at Choupana.
