Rio Ave, Recent FormThe Rio Ave players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Boavista recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Boavista managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
It's been a mixed run of form for Rio Ave recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Arouca, Recent FormArouca will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Vizela. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Vizela had 15 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Manager Armando Evangelista will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Rafa Mújica will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Arouca.
Arouca suffered the disappointment of a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Rio Ave the last time they met in the league.
Rio Ave will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Arouquenses. In each of their last 4 away matches in the league at Estádio do Rio Ave, Arouquenses have let in at least 1 goal. In their past 5 meetings, Vilacondenses' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Arouca will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Rio Ave has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Arouca in 5 games.
Rio Ave 0 - 2 AroucaArouca 3 - 0 Rio AveThere 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.
With only Oday Dabbagh (Muscle) and Victor Vitinho (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Armando Evangelista will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
