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 result for Rio Ave last time out. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Luís Freire will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
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.
Famalicão, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Farense in their latest league match, Famalicão will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Farense, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 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. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Famalicão recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Famalicenses have scored in each of the last 3 times they have travelled to play Rio Ave in the league.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Famalicão may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 6 matches undefeated against their opponents.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire ahead of this clash, with Jhonatan Luiz da Siqueira (Thigh) missing out, which gives Freire a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Famalicão manager João Pedro Sousa ahead of this clash, with Théo Fonseca (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Pedro Sousa a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
