Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 2-2 draw against Portimonense. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Portimonense's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Luís Freire will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
It's been mixed fortunes for Rio Ave at Estádio do Rio Ave recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Casa Pia, Recent FormThe Casa Pia squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-3 home defeat against Sporting CP, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 25% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Sporting CP, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 12 of which were on target.
Filipe Martins will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Unable to score in 5 of their last 6 away games, they will need to improve in front of goal if they are to pick up more points. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Rafael Martins will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Rio Ave in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Casa Pia.
Casa Pia recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
