Rio Ave, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Marítimo meant Rio Ave had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Marítimo's tally of 30 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Luís Freire will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Estádio do Rio Ave, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Vitória Guimarães, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Vitória Guimarães racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Vizela. They came away from that fixture with a 47% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Vizela, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
André Silva will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Rio Ave in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Vitória Guimarães.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Playing at home, Rio Ave have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Vitória SC.
When playing away from home in the league, Vitória SC have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Rio Ave, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
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 Vitória SC manager João Miguel 'Moreno' da Cunha Teixeira ahead of this clash, with André Amaro (Muscle) missing out, which gives 'Moreno' da Cunha Teixeira a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
