In that match, Rio Ave had 37% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Rio Ave was Abdul-Aziz Yakubu (59'). For their opponents, Arouca got 11 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target.
A recurring trait of recent Rio Ave games is the number of nil scores.
From their previous six clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.
Since a loss in their previous game against Vitória Guimarães in Primeira Liga competition,
Marítimo will be aiming to make amends here.
In that match, Marítimo managed 49% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Vitória Guimarães had 12 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Tiago Silva (70') was the scorer for Vitória Guimarães.
In 5 of the prior 6 clashes involving Marítimo, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and opposing sides. The overall average goals scored per game within that spell comes out as a paltry 1.5, with the average goals for Os Verde-Rubros equalling 0.67.
Going into this contest, Marítimo are undefeated by Rio Ave when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games. Prediction: Rio Ave to win the game.
