The team is yet to secure a single victory, with three losses and one draw. In their last outing, Rio Ave lost 2-1 away to Famalicão. The team is experiencing serious defensive issues, having conceded 9 goals in four games. The match against one of the league leaders will be a major test for the hosts.

The "Dragons" are in second place in the league table, having not suffered a single defeat. They have collected 10 points from four rounds (three wins, one draw). In their last match, Porto defeated Moreirense 2-0 at home. Against an underdog, Porto will be aiming for nothing less than a victory to continue their pursuit of the top spot.
