Nacional vs Rio Ave Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

On May 10, Nacional are hosting Rio Ave in the Liga Portugal, with a 14:30 kickoff in UTC.

Tensions run high as the upcoming match sees Nacional and Rio Ave meet again, 4 months after the previous Liga Portugal encounter which Rio Ave won 2-1. Nacional come into this match following a defeat to Guimaraes today, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance, as they aim to end a three-game stretch without a win. Resolving issues at the back will be vital for improvement, particularly since their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across eight consecutive home matches.

Rio Ave are on a troubling run as well, heading into this match following two back-to-back defeats to Guimaraes and Sporting, having failed to win in their last three outings. Before Nacional, they will play Estrela Amadora in Liga Portugal, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Nacional. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three matches.

This Liga Portugal clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Nacional and Rio Ave in this campaign. Nacional’s attacking options, carefully orchestrated by Tiago Margarido, have been bolstered by Daniel Penha, the team’s top scorer, and Dudu, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Penha has already scored four goals in Liga Portugal this season, with Dudu topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Isaac, Jose Gomes and Djibril Soumare have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Nacional’s attack.

Meanwhile, Rio Ave’s leading scorer Clayton and Tiago Morais have played significant roles in the team’s attack, crafted under Petit’s leadership, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. Clayton leads Rio Ave’s scoring charts in Liga Portugal this season with thirteen goals, while Vroussay has been their leading creator in the competition with three assists. Rio Ave have also relied on Ege Tiknaz, Brandon Aguilera and Andre Luiz to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
