Monday night's Primeira Liga match between Porto and Rio Ave at Estadio do Rio Futebol Clube will see them try to maintain their unbeaten start to the year.
The visitors won their second straight league game by defeating Farense 2-1 at home, while the hosts enter this contest coming off a road loss to Estoril by a score of 2-0.
Rio Ave will look back on the most recent season as a very successful one because they managed a 12th-place finish and weren't really in danger of relegation either. Rio Ave earned promotion back to the top division in the 2021–22 season.
Maritimo finished in the relegation playoff slot and just four points behind the teams in the top half of the Primeira Liga standings. #Luis Freire's team finished with 40 points (W10 D10 L14) and was 14 points ahead of them.
The strongest asset Rio Ave had last season was their strong defense. They allowed only 43 goals in total, which was fewer than teams like Famalicao and Boavista in the top half of the standings.
Although they dominated Estoril in their first game away from home last week, they were unable to take advantage of the opportunities they generated and ultimately lost the match 2-0. They started this season with a 2-0 home win over a 10-man Chaves.
Despite a strong finish to the year, Porto was forced to relinquish the Primeira Liga championship last year when they fell two points short of Benfica, who went on to win the competition.
Os Dragoes finished the 2022–23 season with 85 points after 34 games, winning each of their final nine games while compiling 27 victories, four draws, and just three losses.
With 2-1 victories over Moreirense and Farense in their first two games of the campaign, Sergio Conceicao's team has maintained that pattern this year. They are now unbeaten in their past 14 league games played after the break.Furthermore, Porto only dropped one of their 17 road games previous season.
