Moreirense Preview – Can Moreirense continue surge?
Friday’s hosts, Moreirense, will be in confident mood ahead of their upcoming home fixture against Rio Ave as they’ve won three of their last four in the Portuguese top flight with wins against Santa Clara, Maritimo and Boavista.
The hosts are also unbeaten in each of their last seven matches overall in the Primeira Liga which also includes an earlier but emphatic 5-1 win away from home at Gil Vicente, so they may well fancy their chances of extending this impressive sequence of results on Friday evening.
Moreirense are also unbeaten in their last three matches at home too within an overall home record which stands at 6-3-3 20/15 but they’ll be facing a stubborn Rio Ave outfit in this clash; Moreirense tend to score and concede in equal measure and this is reflected with 9 of Moreirense’s 12 home matches resulting in both teams scoring.
Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave bounce back?
It was an unsuccessful return to the Primeira Liga action for visitors, Rio Ave, in last weekend’s clash at home to Pacos Ferreira as Rio Ave found themselves on the end of a 3-2 defeat and it’s now just one win from their last five matches overall for the visitors.
Nevertheless, Rio Ave still occupy 7th place on the Portuguese top flight ladder and are just five points adrift of 4th placed Sporting CP heading into this weekend’s action, so a win on the road at Moreirense would enhance Rio Ave’s ambitions of a possible top four finish.
While results overall may have gone off the boil a little, Rio Ave have continued their momentum on the road as the visitors have won four of their last five matches on their travels with wins at Santa Clara, Vitoria Guimaraes, Desportivo Aves and Tondela, along with a creditable 1-1 draw at Porto as well.
