On August 31, Rio Ave are hosting Braga in the Liga Portugal, starting at 19:30 UTC.

All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming face-off sees Rio Ave and Braga are set to clash again, 6 months after their previous Liga Portugal match which Rio Ave won 2-1. Rio Ave come into the match following a draw against Nacional last Sunday in the Liga Portugal. They have a key fixture leading up to the match against Braga though, taking on Arouca in Liga Portugal, and the outcome of this game may heavily influence their preparations for Braga.

Following a six-game winning streak against Lincoln, Alverca, Cluj, Tondela and Levski, Braga head into this match looking to build on their success, pushing their unbeaten streak to thirteen games. Before Rio Ave, their schedule includes Lincoln in Europa League Play-Offs and AVS in Liga Portugal, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Rio Ave. Their defense has been solid lately, as evidenced by four consecutive clean sheets.
