Rio Ave form and stats

Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.

Rio Ave have played 17 Liga Portugal games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-3-6 (wins-draws-losses).

The home club members saw a 2-2 draw versus Famalicao last time out and are looking for a win here. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Famalicao as Ruiz's goal in the 82nd minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Rodrigues (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.31/10. Rodrigues served one assist, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 52 successful passes (of 57 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Pacos de Ferreira in the Liga Portugal.

Rio Ave are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 17 games. From these home matches, Rio have conceded only 14 goals.

Academico Viseu form and stats

They also participated in League Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals.

5 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Academico Viseu playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season.

There might be some fixture complaints from Academico Viseu as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 2-3 against Nacional. A huge disappointment for Academico Viseu in their last match (vs Nacional). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Feirense.

Academico have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 24 goals have been scored. Academico Viseu struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Rio Ave two wins, zero draws and Academico Viseu one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
