Rio Ave, Recent FormThe Rio Ave squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-3 home defeat against Farense, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Farense, who had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Rio Ave will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 8 games.
Boavista, Recent FormThe Boavista players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Sporting CP recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Sporting CP's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 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 conceded a goal in their 20 most recent away games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Boavista recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Tiago Morais has scored in each of Boavista's last league game away from home.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 3-2 win for Boavista.
Rio Ave have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with As Panteras. During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio do Rio Ave, As Panteras have been unable to break through the Rio Ave defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Rio Ave has had a good run at home against Boavista, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Estádio do Rio Ave.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire ahead of this clash, with Jorge Joca (Muscle) missing out, which gives Freire a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only César Dutra (Cruciate ligament) and Pedro Malheiro (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Armando 'Petit' Teixeira will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
