Rio Ave Preview – Can Rio Ave end barren spell?
Rio Ave face a tough evening ahead of them as they prepare for the visit of Primeira Liga leaders, Sporting CP, especially as the hosts have failed to win any of their last eight matches overall in the domestic top flight.
The hosts have drawn six of these eight and suffered two losses against Gil Vicente and Maritimo but it may be worth keeping the draw onside for this clash considering Rio Ave have also drawn three of their last four matches at home as well.
Rio Ave’s difficulty in winning matches this season has landed them in trouble as the hosts sit just two points above the relegation play-off spot prior to this clash with an in-form Sporting CP.
Sporting CP Preview – Can Sporting preserve unbeaten tag?
Primeira Liga leaders, Sporting CP, are currently enjoying a six-point lead at the summit of the division over 2nd placed Porto and this lead could be extended even further when they make their way to face a struggling Rio Ave outfit on Wednesday night.
It’s been an amazing season for Sporting so far as the visitors still remain undefeated in this Primeira Liga campaign, winning 23 and drawing seven of their 30 matches to date this term and they look set to add to their points tally in this clash at Rio Ave too.
An away record of 12-3-0 26/6 includes no fewer than 10 clean sheets while at the other end, Sporting have scored 2 goals or more in 10 of these 15 away matches so far this season.
