Rio Ave form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Rio as they were promoted from Segunda Liga last season. Happy days that were secured through 21 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses from 34 games. The team scored 29 goals at home last season and conceded 15. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

This was their first victory after eleven consecutive league games not winning!

This is expected to be a close game, with Rio Ave perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rio Ave as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Rio Ave has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Rio Ave friendly games in pre-season: Rio Ave played three friendlies, won 1, drew 1 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Rio Ave scored 1 goal and conceded 2 in these three games.
