Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Vitória Guimarães who sit so many places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Vitória Guimarães managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Vilacondenses, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Emmanuel Boateng will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Rio Ave.

Their share of possession in that meeting was 25%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Sporting CP had 15 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Paulo Sérgio, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 16 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 15 games.
