Rio Ave form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Rio Ave have to build on here at Estadio dos Arcos in the Primeira Liga. The Rio Ave manager Carlos Carvalhal might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Rio Ave manager Carlos Carvalhal and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Paços de Ferreira (placed 17th) in the Primeira Liga. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Condeixa.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Rio Ave matches with similar probabilities have ended with 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from six games).

The manager Carlos Carvalhal will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Benfica in only three days.

Rio Ave can score goals in their home matches. After 4 league matches they have found the net 8 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Moreirense form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Moreirense playing as the away team in the Primeira Liga this season. Moreirense seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There were no winners in Moreirense's previous match, a Primeira Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Boavista (placed 6th). Prior to that result Moreirense won their away game at Fabril Barreiro in the Taça De Portugal. The scoreline was 3-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Moreirense playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.

After this away game Moreirense return home for a Primeira Liga game against Vitória Guimarães. That game is only three sleeps after this.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Moreirense's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Moreirense have conceded 7 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 3 - 3 (Rio Ave wins - draws - Moreirense wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
