Guimaraes Preview – Can Guimaraes post back-to-back wins?
Monday night’s hosts, Guimaraes, will go in search of posting back-to-back wins when they entertain Rio Ave at their Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques having recorded a previous 1-0 home win against Santa Clara last time out in the Primeira Liga.
The hosts have been in fairly solid form of late as they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Portuguese top flight which was a 1-0 loss at home to Benfica, but Guimaraes have also registered a previous win against portimonense with a 2-0 victory at home too.
Overall results on home turf have been reasonable enough despite two recent losses to Sporting Braga and Benfica, but it should be noted that both of these losses were against top five opposition while an additional 5-0 thrashing of Belenenses should give the hosts confidence of picking up further points here.
Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave win three on trot?
Having recently recorded back-to-back wins against Santa Clara 1-0 away and a 2-0 home win against Boavista, Rio Ave will make their way to Guimaraes looking for a third league win on the trot in the Primeira Liga which could lift them up into 5th place in the Portuguese top flight.
The visitors have also suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches which includes an earlier 1-0 home win over Gil Vicente while their one defeat during this recent period was a 1-0 loss at home to Maritimo.
Results away from home though have been more modest for the visitors as they’ve picked up just 1 win out of their last 5 matches on their travels which was collected at Santa Clara but an inconsistent looking away record of 3-2-3 7/8 includes recent defeats at Benfica and Sporting Braga.
In addition, Rio Ave have failed to score in 4 of their 8 away matches to date.
