Marítimo, Recent FormMarítimo won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 home defeat to Vitória Guimarães, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Vitória Guimarães, who had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them. Their form has been poor this season, losing 20 of 30 league games.
On an individual basis, André Vidigal will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Marítimo's last 6 league games.
Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Arouca. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Marítimo have managed to keep a clean sheet against Vilacondenses in each of their previous 2 meetings at Estádio do Marítimo. Vilacondenses have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Marítimo. Rio Ave have struggled to break down the Os Verde-Rubros defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Os Verde-Rubros have struggled for goals when Rio Ave comes to visit Estádio do Marítimo, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 5 league meetings between these sides, Marítimo have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Rio Ave in all 5 matches.
There is only really one injury concern for the Marítimo manager José Gomes ahead of this clash, with Marcelo Carné (Knee) missing out, which gives Gomes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
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.
