Current Form of Both Teams

Rio Ave sits at a precarious 12th position in the league. However, they're coming off a challenging run, having lost their last four matches, including a tough defeat against Sporting CP (2-0) and a 2-1 loss to Casa Pia. With 29 points from 27 matches, their season has seen 7 wins, 8 draws, and 12 defeats. They've struggled defensively, conceding 45 goals while netting only 30. Yet, at home, Rio Ave has managed to find some form, scoring 21 goals at the Estádio do Rio Ave, giving them a fighting chance against struggling Boavista.

On the other hand, Boavista is navigating a turbulent season, languishing at the bottom of the league in 18th place with just 15 points. Their last win came on March 2 against Santa Clara, but they have faced severe setbacks, including a recent 3-1 defeat against Gil Vicente. Boavista's record highlights 3 wins, 6 draws, and 18 losses overall. Their failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities is evident in their meager total of 17 goals this season, alongside a staggering 46 goals conceded.

Head-to-Head and Key Statistics

Historically, their previous encounter on November 9, 2024, ended in a 2-0 victory for Boavista, giving them undeniable confidence as they head into this clash. However, Rio Ave holds a slight edge due to their overall home-ground advantage.

At home, Rio Ave has a "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) rate of 62.5%, suggesting they can find the net, while Boavista’s away performance shows a statistically respectable 50% for BTTS. With both teams underperforming in recent weeks, this match could be a low-scoring battle.
