📏 Form Guide

Paços de Ferreira
Paços de Ferreira
LLLWLL

Paços de Ferreira will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 Primeira Liga defeat last time out to Chaves.

In that game, Paços de Ferreira had 34% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Chaves had 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Nwankwo Obiora (52') and João Teixeira (79') scored for Chaves.

Paços de Ferreira have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 against opposing sides during their last six fixtures. In those games, Paços de Ferreira have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them come to 15. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see if such a trend might be sustained in this next match or not.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Paços de Ferreira:

  • haven't lost in the league to Rio Ave in their previous 6 matches.
  • are without a home win in the past 3 league matches.

Since being beaten in their last game against Vitória Guimarães in Primeira Liga competition, Rio Ave will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Rio Ave had 53% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Vitória Guimarães had 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Tomás Händel (55') was the scorer for Vitória Guimarães.

The stats don’t lie, and Rio Ave have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 9 goals in all. Defensively, Rio Ave certainly have room for improvement.

A look at their previous results shows us that Rio Ave:

  • have not won against Paços de Ferreira when they've played them away from home in the last 4 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.
  • are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A review of their most recent head to head clashes dating back to 07/05/2018 shows us that Paços de Ferreira have won 3 of these and Rio Ave 0, with the tally of draws being 3.

In all, 10 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 7 of them for Os Castores and 3 belonging to Rio Grande . The average goals per game has been 1.67.

The previous league meeting featuring the two was Primeira Liga match day 16 on 14/01/2023 when it ended Rio Ave 0-1 Paços de Ferreira.

That day, Rio Ave had 69% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target.

At the other end, Paços de Ferreira got 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. Nigel Thomas (34') was the scorer.

The match was refereed by Ricardo Baixinho.

🗞️ Team News: Paços de Ferreira

The Paços de Ferreira manager César Peixoto will be happy not to have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this clash thanks to a completely injury-free squad to pick from.

It seems likely that Os Castores could kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, handing starts to Jose Marafona, Jorge Silva, Nuno Lima, Maracás, Vitorino Antunes, Rui Pires, Luiz Carlos, Jordan Holsgrove, Nicolas Gaitan, Nigel Thomas and Adrián Butzke.

📋 Team News: Rio Ave

Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Rio Ave manager Luís Freire to be concerned with. Joca (Knee Injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Rio Grande could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-3 formation by sending out Magrão, Renato Pantalon, Aderllan Santos, Patrick William, Costinha, Amine Oudrhiri, G. Rodrigues Guga, Paulo Vitor, Emmanuel Boateng, Leonardo Ruiz and Miguel Baeza.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Rio Ave will have to work hard as a team to be putting a goal past this Paços de Ferreira team who we think might well get the vital goal that wins it.

We’re therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning margin for Paços de Ferreira at the end of the match.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
