Rio Ave analysis

After round number 7 in Liga Portugal, Rio Ave has 5 goals scored and 12 conceded.

It appears that Rio Ave is encountering difficulties in scoring goals, as evidenced by their low number of goals scored and the high number of games in which they have failed to score. This could imply that their attacking play is lacking in quality and they need to work on creating better chances.

Rio Ave is not a team that imposes its rhythms on the field, it usually has a rather counterattacking game: in fact, during this league we see that it has an average ball possession of 47.71%. In the next match against Famalicão a change of attitude on the field will be needed, Rio Ave will have to try to maintain possession to create goal chances and win.

The adaptation of Omar Richards with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Rio Ave last game of the season, against Sporting Braga. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
