Portimonense, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Sporting CP, the Portimonense squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. In that game they had 33% possession and managed 2 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Sporting CP who had 20 attempts and 11 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 10 goals scored. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 29 of their 32 games overall.
A home win for Portimonense is just a distant memory, having not won at The Estadio Municipal de Portimão in 8 games.
Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave 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 Vitória Guimarães. They came away from that fixture with a 42% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Vitória Guimarães, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Luís Freire will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games on the road, the Vilacondenses travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
Jorge Joca 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.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-0 win for Rio Ave.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Portimonense and their rivals, Vilacondenses, the former have conceded at least one goal. In their past 5 meetings, Rio Ave's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Portimonense will have to take their chances when they come. Portimonense have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Rio Ave.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio Municipal de Portimão in the league, but Portimonense will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Portimonense manager Paulo Sérgio will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rio Ave manager Luís Freire has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
