Famalicão, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Farense in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Famalicão last time out. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Farense who had 21 attempts and 8 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Rio Ave, Recent FormRio Ave will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Casa Pia. Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Casa Pia had 6 shots on goal with 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets, but they have failed to score in 5 of their 10 games away from Estádio do Rio Ave this season.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 14 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Abdul-Aziz Yakubu will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Famalicão in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rio Ave.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The last 3 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Famalicão might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 7 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Famalicão manager João Pedro Sousa will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rio Ave manager Luís Freire has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
