Boavista, Recent FormBoavista manager Ricardo Paiva will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 6-1 away defeat by Sporting CP. Their share of possession in that meeting was 29%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Sporting CP, who had 23 shots on goal with 11 on target.
Paiva will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 13 games at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Farense last time out. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 14 shots on goal.
Manager Luís Freire will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, but this season they have failed to score in 6 of 13 games on the raod.
There will be mixed feelings from Vilacondenses, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 4 of them.
On an individual basis, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Rio Ave's last 6 league games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Rio Ave that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
Boavista have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Vilacondenses. When Rio Ave visit As Panteras in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
There is only really one injury concern for the Boavista manager Ricardo Paiva ahead of this clash, with César Dutra (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Paiva a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Rio Ave manager Luís Freire has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
