Boavista, Recent FormBoavista will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Vizela last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Vizela, who had 9 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Armando 'Petit' Teixeira will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Rio Ave, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Casa Pia in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Rio Ave last time out. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Casa Pia's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Luís Freire will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Rio Ave that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
Boavista have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Rio Ave. Playing away from home, Rio Ave have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Boavista.
Rio Ave have proven they're a capable side against Boavista in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
With no real injury worries, Boavista manager Armando 'Petit' Teixeira will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
