Porto is on a solid streak, securing wins against Rangers and Gil Vicente, keeping their unbeaten run alive at twelve matches.

Rio Ave, unlike their opponents, are on a troubling run, heading into this match following three back-to-back defeats to Arouca, Nacional and Benfica. Ahead of their clash with Porto, they must first take on Moreirense and Braga in Liga Portugal, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Porto. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in thirteen consecutive matches.
This Liga Portugal encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Porto and Rio Ave throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Samu Aghehowa and Pepe Aquino have been pivotal for Porto’s attack, under Francesco Farioli’s guidance, combining to deliver important goals and assists.

Adding further support are Borja Sainz, Gabriel Veiga and William Gomes, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
Meanwhile, Rio Ave’s offensive unit, crafted under Sotiris Sylaidopoulos’s leadership, has leaned on Clayton, their main scorer, and Andre Luiz, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward.
