Insights:
  • Casa Pia have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Segunda Liga
  • Rio Ave haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League Cup. That game, against Porto, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rio Ave.

6-0-0 is the performance here at Estádio Pina Manique so far in the Segunda Liga, giving Casa Pia a total of 18 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! Casa Pia has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio Pina Manique. We remember; it was Porto II.

Casa faced defeat in their previous match, away at Estrela Amadora (0-1).

Ahead of that match, Casa Pia won a home game hosting Varzim (1-0).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Casa Pia, as the Taça De Portugal home game vs Sporting CP is only three days away.

Rio Ave form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Liga travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Rio, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Porto.

A 1-2 loss hosting Mafra before that.

After this away game Rio return home for a Taça De Portugal game against Belenenses. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Rio Ave has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 7 games. Rio have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
