A 0-0 draw against Moreirense will be viewed as a positive outcome for Rio Ave and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Moreirense who had 19 attempts and 2 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Luís Freire will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 11 of their 12 played at Estádio do Rio Ave this season.
They have been performing well at Estádio do Rio Ave recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Abdul-Aziz Yakubu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Rio Ave.

Manager Artur Jorge will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period.
