Farense, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Farense players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Vizela. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Vizela, who had 16 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 25 games.
Farense will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.
Bruno Duarte will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Farense.
Rio Ave, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against SC Braga will be viewed as a positive outcome for Rio Ave and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against SC Braga's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Luís Freire will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, but playing away from home this season, they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Rio Ave, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Farense recorded a 3-4 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Vilacondenses will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Farense having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. Playing at home, Farense have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rio Ave. The Rio Ave defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Farense in the league, with Rio Ave conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, Farense has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed Rio Ave to Estádio de São Luís.
