Rio Ave, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 away defeat by Vizela will have left the Rio Ave squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Vizela's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Estádio do Rio Ave.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Sporting CP, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Sporting CP produced a stunning 5-0 home win over SC Braga. In that game they recorded 65 of the possession, with 22 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 4 shots on goal.
Their boss Rúben Amorim has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Pedro Gonçalves will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Sporting CP's last 6 league games.
After a good 3-0 win for Sporting CP in this pair's last league encounter, Rio Ave will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Rio Ave have been unable to break through Sportinguistas' defence and find the back of the net. Sportinguistas will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 11 encounters with Rio Ave. When Sporting CP visit Vilacondenses in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Sporting CP has won the last 2 games they've played against Rio Ave in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire ahead of this clash, with Jorge Joca (Knee) missing out, which gives Freire a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim ahead of this clash, with Daniel Bragança (Ligament) missing out, which gives Amorim a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
