Rio Ave FC will before long be going up against FC Famalicao in Vila do Conde; a match that is certain to attract fans from both camps. When Carlos Andre Fernandes Macedo blows the starting whistle at 6:00 PM UTC, up to 12815 people will watch the game live.
It’s been less than a year since these groups recently played against one another. On January 22, 2023, the match took place at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in Vila Nova de Famalicao. Fans are expecting a rematch this time because of the way that the past contest finished without a solitary objective being scored.
Since Rio Ave FC has won two of its last three matches, FC Famalicao is very unlikely to win this one. If you look at the number of goals scored in the last three games, you’ll see that each team scored two goals. Therefore, it will be interesting to see which of these two teams prevails in the subsequent match.
In recent times, Rio Ave has rarely maintained a clean sheet. They will be concerned about the fact that Rio Ave has conceded 10 goals in five of their previous six games and been scored against. Naturally, that pattern will not necessarily continue into the subsequent game.
Prior to this match, Famalico had a strong attack, scoring 9 goals in their previous 6 games. Having said that, Famalico has the potential to improve defensively after being beaten by scores in five of those games. Famalico hasn’t won in two league games away from home before this one.

- Rio Ave – Famalicao

Prediction :
We think Rio Ave and Famalico could both score here, but it’s hard to pick a clear winner. We’ll see what happens, but a draw seems like a real possibility. As a result, we anticipate a close game that will end in a draw when the final whistle sounds.
Head to Head :
The last time these teams played in the league was on Primeira Liga match day 17, which took place on January 22, 2023. The final score was Famalico 0-0 Rio Ave. At that point, Famalico had 49 percent possession and made 19 shots, five of which were successful. Rio Ave made 14 shots on goal, two of which were successful.
Team news :
On Friday, Rio Ave will once more be without midfielder Joca because of an injury, but the home team is otherwise in good shape going into this game. Emmanuel Boateng, who has scored multiple times this season, entered as a half-time substitute against Pacos Ferreira last break, and the assailant could now come in for a beginning here.
Yet again lead trainer Freire is supposed to oppose the compulsion to rearrange his pack, however, implying that any semblance of Andre Pereira and Fabio Ronaldo are probably going to begin the seat. Concerning Famalicao, Theo Fonseca stays a drawn-out truant with a knee injury, while Jose Luis Rodriguez will again pass up a great opportunity because of a hamstring issue.
During a strong campaign, Ivan Jaime has scored 11 times, and the 22-year-old will play in an advanced position for the visitors in this match. Although there aren’t likely to be many changes from the team that started against Porto, Junior Kadile could play in place of Alexandru Dobre down the right.
