Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave win four on trot?
Rio Ave are currently riding high in the Portuguese top flight as the Friday night’s hosts have registered 3 league wins on the trot with victories achieved over Santa Clara, Boavista and Vitoria Guimaraes which has helped lift the home side up into 6th place and they’re now just three points within Famalicao and the top four ahead of this important clash.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Primeira Liga, confidence is starting to grow amongst the Rio Ave camp as the hosts look to further improve upon a fairly reasonable home record which stands at 4-2-3 13/9.
The hosts have made recent improvements at home after winning 3 of their last 4 matches on home turf at their Estádio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube with additional wins against Vitoria Setubal and Gil Vicente, while also keeping 3 clean sheets from these last 4 matches too.
Famalicao Preview – Can Famalicao hold onto top four spot?
The visitors were handed a surprise and unexpected 1-0 defeat at home by 13th placed Santa Clara last time out in the Portuguese top flight which won’t have made for ideal preparation ahead of this crucial top six clash away from home at Rio Ave on Friday night.
Recent results have seen a mixed bag of returns for Famalicao as the visitors have claimed wins against Vitoria Setubal and Boavista, but they’ve also succumbed to defeats to Benfica and the aforementioned loss to Santa Clara, and these ordinary results may compromise Famalicao’s current 4th place position.
On top of this, although Famalicao’s overall away record reads a fairly reasonable looking 4-2-3 12/15, the visitors have actually gained just 1 win out of their last 5 matches, while losing 3 of these last 5 matches on their travels as well.
Losses at Porto, Portimonense and Benfica perhaps show that Famalicao could struggle in the run-in of this season’s Primeira Liga campaign.
