Rio Ave had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Estrela Amadora. They came away from that fixture with 39% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Estrela Amadora managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
6 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
They have been performing well at Estádio do Rio Ave recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.

Arouca will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Boavista. They achieved 69% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Boavista's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Daniel Sousa will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 7 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 25 of their 29 games overall.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Rafa Mújica will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 6 goals in the last 6 league games for Arouca.
Rio Ave vs. Arouca Head to head
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Rio Ave will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Arouquenses, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two. Arouca have struggled to break down the Vilacondenses defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Rio Ave have managed to keep a clean sheet against Arouca in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Playing at home, Rio Ave have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Arouca in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire ahead of this clash, with Miguel Nóbrega (Thigh) missing out, which gives Freire a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
