Rio Ave, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Boavista in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Rio Ave last time out. During that encounter they had 53% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
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 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
Having drawn their last 5 and failing to win any of their last 6 league games, Vilacondenses will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
Abdul-Aziz Yakubu 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.
Gil Vicente, Recent FormThe Gil Vicente players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Famalicão recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Famalicão who had 16 attempts and 4 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 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Laurindo Depú will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Gil Vicente.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Gilistas will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Rio Ave, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
Gil Vicente remains without a victory against Rio Ave in their previous 3 league encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire ahead of this clash, with Miguel Nóbrega (Thigh) missing out, which gives Freire a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Gil Vicente manager Vítor Campelos ahead of this clash, with Kiko Vilas Boas (Knee) missing out, which gives Campelos a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
