Match Stats

Rio Ave secured a narrow 2-1 win over Farense, with a non-penalty xG of 1.38, slightly edging their opponents' 1.28. Since taking over on November 7, head coach Armando Goncalves Teixeira has guided the team to six wins in 11 matches, matching the total number of wins the club had in their previous 25 games. Rio Ave will aim to improve their performance against Porto, having lost 2-0 in their first meeting of the season after failing to register a single shot. 

Despite this, Rio Ave has been solid lately, winning three, drawing one, and losing just one of their last five matches, including two wins in their last four league games. They’ve proven difficult to beat at home, with only one loss in their last 21 home games.

Porto, on the other hand, have struggled with their offensive form, scoring only three goals in their last six games, with three scoreless outings. They managed a 1-1 draw against Santa Clara, with Otavio scoring a late equalizer. Despite this, Porto secured a 1-0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League, advancing to the round of 16 where they will face Roma.

Although Porto’s defense remains strong, with only 15 goals conceded in the league, their form has been inconsistent, having lost four of their last six games, with just one win. Their away form has also been poor, with six defeats in their last 10 away matches.
