Porto, Recent FormPorto will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their away fixture against Farense. They came away from that fixture with 73% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Farense managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Sérgio Conceição will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 5 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Porto, Francisco Evanilson will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Rio Ave, Recent FormIt's fair to say Rio Ave will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Estoril, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Estoril's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
An away win for Rio Ave is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 13 games.
Emmanuel Boateng will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Rio Ave.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-2 win for Porto.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio do Dragão, Vilacondenses have been unable to break through the Porto defence and find the back of the net. Goals should be on the cards for Porto in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Vilacondenses in their last 28 meetings together.
Playing at home, Porto have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 18 times they have faced Rio Ave in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Porto manager Sérgio Conceição ahead of this clash, with Iván Marcano (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Conceição a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Rio Ave manager Luís Freire has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
