Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Estrela Amadora. They came away from that fixture with 39% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Estrela Amadora managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
6 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
They have been performing well at Estádio do Rio Ave recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Arouca, Recent FormArouca will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Boavista. They achieved 69% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Boavista's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Daniel Sousa will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 7 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 25 of their 29 games overall.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Rafa Mújica will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 6 goals in the last 6 league games for Arouca.

Rio Ave will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Arouquenses, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
