Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave resume solid run?
Sunday’s hosts, Rio Ave, will no doubt be keen to extend their impressive unbeaten run in the Portuguese top flight to 10 matches when they resume hostilities in the Primeira Liga with a home game against Pacos Ferreira at their Estádio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube.
This impressive unbeaten run includes five wins and four draws to date and has helped lift Rio Ave up into the top half of the Portuguese top flight into 7th place where they trail 4th placed Sporting CP by just a five-point margin (at the time of writing).
It’s therefore been a pretty satisfactory and successful campaign to date for Rio Ave but the high number of draws makes the straight win a fairly risky proposition; three of Rio Ave’s last four home matches have ended in stalemate.
Pacos Ferreira Preview – Can Pacos Ferreira remain safe?
Sunday’s visitors, Pacos Ferreira, find themselves perched just above the relegation zone ahead of this difficult looking trip to face a solid Rio Ave outfit, and they head into this encounter on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Vitoria Guimaraes just before the lockdown came into effect.
Indeed, five defeats out of their last seven matches overall in the Primeira Liga have not only cancelled out their recent wins against Famalicao 2-1 and Desportivo Aves 3-1, but have outweighed the positives and have dumped the visitors closer to the bottom two clubs, Portimonense and Desportivo Aves.
An away record of 2-2-7 8/20 doesn’t inspire much confidence either, but it should be noted that Pacos Ferreira did register a convincing 3-1 win at Aves last time out on their travels and they must get a result of sorts this Sunday to keep their heads above water.
