Rio Ave, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Arouca meant Rio Ave had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Arouca who had 17 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 13 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Vilacondenses, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've drawn their last 3.
Vizela, Recent FormVizela will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against SC Braga, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to SC Braga, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
The Vizela travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Samuel Essende, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Vizela recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Rio Ave has lost the last 2 times they've faced Vizela in the league.
With no real injury worries, Rio Ave manager Luís Freire will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Vizela manager Pablo Villar has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
