Chaves rolls into this midweek friendly on a perfect streak, and Amarante's looking to keep their own unbeaten run alive. Early-season vibes only. ⚽

Chaves have been clinical — back-to-back wins with some teeth (4-1 demolition of AD Fafe, then a narrow 1-0 road job). Amarante's been steady rather than spectacular, mixing wins with draws across their last five.

Key storylines:

• Chaves' attacking rhythm looks sharp after consecutive victories; they'll test Amarante's defensive shape early
• Amarante's defensive solidity on the road (3-1 win vs Vitória SC B, 0-0 at CD Trofense) could make this grind
• Friendly stakes mean squad rotation and early-season rust — expect chances for fringe players to impress

Expected lineups:

• Chaves: Players from recent 4-1 and 1-0 wins
• Amarante FC: Squad rotating across recent 3W 2D form

Prediction:

Chaves 2-1 Amarante FC

Slight edge to Chaves' current momentum and home comfort, but Amarante's unbeaten record keeps this competitive.
