Paços de Ferreira, Recent FormWith Chaves sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Paços de Ferreira won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Chaves managed 17 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
They have found the net 4 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and conceded at least one goal in 15 out of 16 games this season.
A recent poor run of home form for Os Castores in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at Estádio Capital do Móvel.
Rio Ave, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Rio Ave players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Vitória Guimarães. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Vitória Guimarães had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. 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 less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 2 of their 16 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Hernâni Santos Fortes has scored in each of Rio Ave's last 0 league games away from home.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Paços de Ferreira that came out on top with a 0-1 win.
Paços have managed to keep a clean sheet against Vilacondenses in each of their previous 3 meetings at Estádio Capital do Móvel. The last 4 matches between Vilacondenses and Paços show that Vilacondenses have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
Rio Ave has had a poor run of results against Paços having not won any of their last 6 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Paços manager César Peixoto 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.
